National police chief: "a police officer should not be in prison, even if he may have committed serious faults or errors in the course of his work." Left-wing opposition blasted government for failing to rein in “a police hierarchy that places itself above the law”.

I suppose that depends on the mistake. If I "make a mistake" and someone ends up dead by my hand, I could expect to be treated differently from if I "make a mistake" and burn the cookies I'm baking.

You don't beat someone to death by mistake, then you don't leave him alone on the ground with a broken skull by mistake, and you don't do the same thing twice by mistake (in 2018 the exact same thing happen, a 19 years old women was shot on the leg with a blast ball and policemen beat her on the ground. She ended up with a broken skull and brain damage.

No police station accepted to take her report for her months and by the time she finally managed to report it the recording we're deleted, the hours when it happens b were missing from the official report of the day and the policeman who beat her left to do a mission for a private company in Africa.

In this case it was clearly deliberate but the police wants total immunity. They are a spoiled child, until now the government gave them everything they wanted because they are the reason the current government is still there.
