The police are asking for the reinforcement of the municipal police to arrest them.

Five municipal agents arrive at three of the young people not far from the town hall. These bear witness to it physical violence and racist comments being handcuffed “There are trees nearby: you’re black, you can climb trees” would have thrown a young municipal policeman at Moussa , 16 years old.

Several municipal police officers to confirm effectively “having seen him with his sex on display and then lifting the fly” or “to adopt a characteristic gesture of a man in front of a urinal” according to the administrative inquiry that Politics has acquired However, no one claims to have seen the urine stream. The third boy handcuffed and placed with his back to the other two, Damien16, is formal: he has, of course

“a peeing sound”

. Police Big Brother But the matter does not end there. Once the young people boarded at the Saint-Ouen police station, Cédric G.

hit repeatedly Pierre while handcuffed to the bench, claiming verbal provocation. The leader of his group, Yohann C., 44 years old, who witnessed the scene, ended up intervening to get Cédric G. away from the boy. The next day, Pierre – recovered by the educator of the home where he was placed – filed a complaint.

“It hit me” the educator testifies to the police, claiming to have asked Pierre to wash his clothes because he smelled of urine. At the same time, Moussa’s older brother, a police officer assigned to a local BAC, goes to the Saint-Ouen police station to get explanations about the treatment that is in store for him during the night. “My little brother was crying” and said “that he had been beaten and that a policeman had urinated on him”

Yohann C. receives it and denies any violence. “Regarding the urine, it was justified by saying that during the arrest, my brother had been put on the floor and that it was a place where there was often urine on the floor. . . I told him that a complaint will be filed and we will see the consequences of the case. » The police officer then informs his superintendent who transmits the information to the town hall of Saint-Ouen. According to the police elder brother, Mayor Malik Bouamrane (PS) contacts him:

“I received a call from the mayor of Saint-Ouen apologizing and telling me that he was going to file a complaint against the municipal policeman who had urinated on my younger brother, as well as the head of his group. He clarified that the two police officers had been suspended, that an administrative investigation was underway and that he would file a complaint as a result of the investigation.

he testified to investigators.

Contact Malik Bouamrane has not yet responded to our interview request. A doomed video this administrative consultation triggered on March 20 and carried out without problems, it allows unearthing a video recorded at the Saint-Ouen police station by one of Cédric G’s colleagues.

“I’m filming the scene because I don’t agree” witness this In this eloquent video, we clearly see how the municipal policeman violently beats the young juvenile handcuffed to the bench several times. Violence committed in front of several colleagues who do not say a word. According to witnesses, National Police officers also saw the scene without anyone intervening.

cover the facts

. I am ashamed of all this. I don’t take the information back, it’s true.Before knowing the existence of this video, Cédric G. he denied violence . As soon as he is informed, he explains without reproach: “The boy received two slaps, I don’t call that a beating. » But the other cops are embarrassed in the corners. “ I meet with a

mate I’ve known for 20 years, what do you want me to do? I am ashamed of all this. I’m not taking back the information, it’s true” recognizes Yohann C., the eldest. Next to the younger police officers, the fear take the upper part “If I start waging war against people like that, they have control over the team and are well regarded by the National Police. If I go to the hierarchy to talk about it, I will be the balance of service within the police.” one of them defended himself.

“I’ve been here for a month and a half, an agent was informed, so I didn’t react. I was afraid that this would harm my appointment”,

says another. Result: The information does not upload internally. “prostate problems” Regarding the urine, Cédric G. first begins by denying having opened the fly and removed the penis, contradicting several colleagues.

“I’m like, ‘I have to pee, I’m going to pee, damn it.’ I have prostate problems. I don’t move from my position and hold on. I don’t take my penis out and I don’t pee. That’s my version and my vision of things. Agents can say whatever they want”

he said before the city council agent in charge of the internal investigation. But in September 2021, before the police officer of the Saint-Denis police station in charge of the criminal investigation for aggravated intentional violence, Cédric G. admits to having removed his penis due to an urgent urge to urinate that was impossible to contain due to a prostate problem discovered, according to the previous year. But he refute having urinated

“They didn’t spray themselves with urine. When they saw my dick, they took cover and turned away” he said Cédric G. will have medical check-ups about his prostate problems…but no pre-event dates.The older police brother had recovered his younger brother’s clothes for analytical purposes

. However, no trace of urine was found. For the city council,

“These facts are constitutive of a criminal offence: degrading treatment of minors and those under 15 years of age, indecent assault, display, in public, in addition, manifest intention to humiliate them.” Some cops act like thugs. she

revoke Cédric G. and Yohann C. and seizes the prosecutor. But only Cédric will be prosecuted for aggravated violence and exhibition. His trial will take place on December 15.

Contacted, the policeman’s lawyer has not yet responded to our request. For Maitre Tricaud, lawyer for Moussa and the city council of Saint-Ouen, Cédric G.

Especially since he later puts bread in the face of one of the complainants: there is still continuity of action! »When questioned, teacher Kathleen Taïeb, Pierre’s lawyer, lamented the attitude of some of the police officers who

“Act like thugs and don’t hesitate to push to cover up their acts . This particular one requested the dissemination of the video at the December 15 hearing. Pierre doesn’t want to come. For his mother, who will be there,

“The criminal investigation was neglected, we are not talking about racist comments, it is only Cédric G. who is involved when we see that other policemen had a role, some even saw my son being beaten without saying anything. If there hadn’t been a video, no one would have believed it. We do not take the measure of the impact of this violence on young people” she breathes And add:

“Police violence, racist comments against his friends, all this, Pierre is unfortunately used to, and again:” I’m white, it’s less harsh! he said What really surprised him was peeing. It’s humiliation. » According to his mother, the teenager does not expect much from justice. Known to the police
