The Swiss Police: we may not apply the blocking measures for Covid-19

" You are not alone ": with this message a group that calls itself " an association of police officers from all cantons of Switzerland " addresses its colleagues online. The group has created a website that allows the police "to speak out without fear of sanctions or of being excluded". According to the anonymous creators of the platform, the need to freely express one's opinion is "very great" among the police officers of the Swiss federation.

The association also sent a four-page letter to the Swiss Federation of Police Officers (FSFP) union. In the letter, he criticizes the anti-coronavirus measures decided by the Confederation and the cantons and warns against possible insubordination within the police force: " If the measures were to oppose the general opinion of the population, disproportionately limiting their fundamental rights, many law enforcement officers will no longer be willing to apply them ”. The group also calls on the FSFP to ask the Federal Council for answers on unresolved issues and to clearly oppose any mandatory vaccination for police officers.

These claims were received by the crown skeptics on the social network Telegram with some jubilation, but with great coldness by the official mayor. The FSFP distances itself from any threat of insubordination. The Swiss authorities are also convinced that this group represents only a very small minority of the 26,500 members of the FSFP. “ The police are part of this country and have the right to have their own opinion. They are at the service of the population and responsible for its protection and safety. But they are also responsible for obeying the directions of their employers ”.

If the policemen begin to no longer believe the orders they are given, a front so far not touched by the protests against covid-19 is opened. If unpopular and absurd orders are not applied, only as such, by the police, the famous “Monopoly of violence” that governs the state falls. The first step towards anarchy, or towards true democracy.
