France, Alternative Libertaire AL #245 - Remi Fraisse, a state crime (fr, pt)

 [machine translation] 

The murder of Remi Fraisse is a state crime that is part of a terrorist management 
challenge. Back on the situation in Toulouse. ---- Qualify the murder of State crime does 
not only refer to the conditions under which it was committed. It is also a question of 
political treatment. We know that the government lied [ 1 ]: the gendarmes knew 
immediately that a grenade had killed R?mi Fraisse. This did not prevent the prefecture 
and the Ministry of Interior to evoke a "body discovered" as if the reasons for death were 
not obvious. They hoped to hide the cause of death? Certainly. The next phase was 
therefore to justify the killing. Cazeneuve and stated that "without the rioters Remi 
Fraisse would not have died." Denial of facts, denial of responsibility and designation of 
victims of repression as authors of this: all the ingredients of State crime together.

Breaking the challenge

This murder arouses anger and demonstrations are organized. What is the government? It 
represses. But beyond that, it is to maintain order in a context of austerity policies and 
avoid at all costs an extension of the dispute. In Toulouse demonstration was organized on 
November 1st. Police targeted testing takes place in the subway, a helicopter flies over 
the city and an impressive police operation is set up. Inevitably, preventing people to 
protest, the police escalate things: gassing, clubbing, arrests. The same tactic was set 
up on November 8, but this time with a "psychological preparation" police spend in shops 
to say that "it's gonna be hot," the subway is closed, the Prefecture banned the 
demonstration by evoking "caches weapons ". The strategy of the police and the government 
is clear: stifle dissent by fear and cut the protesters of the population through 
propaganda extensively covered by the media, branding them "thugs" as opposed to "good 
demonstrators."

Refuse police division

This strategy reached its peak on November 22 when the prefecture succeeded in imposing a 
demonstration course in the morning, separate rally planned at 15h by Zad31 collective. An 
organizing group falls into the trap (Left Front, Postal code, FSU, Solidaires, etc.). 
This division allows a legitimization of the repression of the gathering 15h. The latter 
which brought together nearly 1,500 people against 400 in the morning was again violently 
suppressed. Hopefully "organizations in the morning" retain the lesson for the next time 
and understand once and for all that the "thugs" division / "nice" is a strategy that 
obeys police purposes.
