Dear Director Feltri,
How is it possible that our police officers, who risk their lives on the streets every day, are accused by the Council of Europe of being racist? I also find serious the attempt to attach a shameful label to an entire category of men and women. I would say that everyone rebelled, our Prime Minister, the President of the Republic, the Minister of the Interior. But why does the left remain silent?

Dear Gaetano,
our brave security operators, who, as you well underline, risk their lives every day in order to guarantee not only public order but also the protection of the lives of tens of millions of inhabitants of the peninsula, including immigrants, are accused of be racist by an organism whose value and authority – I regret – I cannot recognise, as it demonstrates, once again, that it acts and pronounces on the basis of purely ideological convictions, which can only pollute and render little adhering to reality, i.e. not objective, as formulated. In short, our agents, who now work overtime in an ordinary way, are therefore overloaded with work, operate under conditions of high stress, are beaten, insulted, which happens every week during the usual pro-Hamas demonstrations, just to give an example , they are laughed at, they receive spit on, they are insulted, they are injured, they suffer injuries, sometimes very serious ones, and what do we do? Instead of being grateful to them, expressing appreciation, finding ways to protect them while they protect us, we try them in newspapers and in courtrooms, when they do nothing more than their duty with the few tools available and with the limits we know, and , as if that wasn’t enough, now we accuse them of racism against Roma and blacks.
What should these men and women do? Immolate, bow, kneel like Laura Boldrini in the chamber of the Chamber, kiss the feet of non-EU citizens, get stabbed by the increasingly numerous illegal immigrants who threaten them with weapons, raise your hands, caress the Roma when they are caught pickpocketing, invite them to lunch or to drink something together, pat thieves and rapists on the back? Let these learned and good gentlemen of the Council of Europe explain it to us. Indeed, let them come and work here, on our streets, wear the uniform and show us how a good non-racist policeman behaves. Let them come here to show us how we can be less strong with criminals, how we can honor murderers, how we can offer our bare sides to the demonstrators who throw everything at us with the aim of injuring us and sending us if not to the cemetery at least to the emergency room. Let them come here to enlighten us, to civilize us, to teach us to be better.
These louts, who make accusations from the comfort of their seats, have reversed the roles of victims and executioners. According to the numbers, which are the only elements that count when it comes to photographing reality, the real victims are men and women in uniform and their harassers and attackers are in the majority of cases foreign individuals, particularly irregular ones. Every year almost three thousand attacks are recorded against officers working on the roads and it is often non-EU citizens who attack them. The number is partial, not complete, yet sufficient to demolish any accusation against our police forces. Also take into account an indicative element: these episodes tend to increase in frequency.
A few months ago it was the Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi who raised a problem that was now clear to all but ignored and underestimated. He stated that “a climate of growing aggression towards the police” is widespread. This climate worsens month by month and is the result of a campaign of hatred and defamation towards security operators, also carried out by the left which, on the occasion of particularly heated demonstrations, rose up in defense of the troublemakers and against the agents , moreover injured, which contained riots and violence. The Council of Europe’s ruling derives precisely from this stance taken by progressives against policemen, who have become a sort of target, a category to be hit, on which prejudices, suspicions and bad feelings weigh. They are the guilty ones, always and anyway.
This trend towards the criminalization of the currency has spread from the USA to Europe and is the symptom of an erosion of the value of legality, i.e. respect for the rules. It is the criminal who is victimized, as long as he is black or gypsy. The policeman embodies the State, order, law, the white man, everything that the global left is unable to tolerate and opposes.
