Reality TV Star Sparks Controversy with Racial Profiling Claims Against Police

Alix Desmoineaux published a video on Instagram this week in which she is seen driving and insulting police officers who were conducting a check. "It’s crazy to always check Blacks and Arabs, you sons of bitches [...], she tells them. Sorry for the vulgarity."

These remarks provoked a reaction from a police union. "I cannot accept the dissemination of such remarks on social networks, which highlight hatred towards the law enforcement agencies, thus suggesting that these are just vulgar remarks when they are above all criminal remarks against our institution and those who represent it," writes the secretary general of Unité-SGP-FO, in a letter addressed to the Minister of the Interior.

Yves Lefebvre denounces a new episode of "anti-cop hatred", and asks the minister "to do everything in his power to locate and apprehend the authors of these absolutely intolerable publications", reports the AFP. Similarly, he urgently asks Christophe Castaner to file a complaint against them so that they are "brought to justice for contempt and incitement to hatred against the representatives of the law enforcement agencies".
