Europe
Illegal immigrants to be put in straitjackets
2007-09-04
Curse that evil Bush!
Spain's Interior Ministry will authorize police to dress undocumented immigrants in straitjackets and helmets during repatriation flights, the daily El Pais reported Monday.
Oh. Never mind. That's different. Not the same thing at all.
Police may resort to the measures when they deem it necessary to protect illegal immigrants from hurting themselves in attempts to prevent their expulsion. Police may not drug immigrants or use disproportionate violence, according to new guidelines prepared by the ministry, which were described as being in line with Council of Europe norms. The new guidelines were prepared after a Nigerian immigrant died during a repatriation flight in June. Osamuyia Aikpitanhi had been handcuffed and gagged. Police said he had violently resisted his expulsion.

#3  Loss of prestige and respect is exactly right. They know we are hamstrung by our own treasonous media, academic and celebutard establishment. I doubt any of them will learn even as their offices burn around them and their daughters made sport of in the streets.

#2  This has proved a major problem for european polices, even with the meager stream of repatriations vs the flow of entries; expulsees scream and make a scene, sometimes, the other passengers come to their help (either out of white guilt/PC brainwashing for europeans, or out of solidarity with flights filled with compatriots), and this has led to many a captain refusing to take off, and even to bodily injuries to police officers... not only is this very costly, but it's very unpractical.
Also, there have been several cases of police officers being assaulted in the repatriation countries, this has happened just recently to six french policemen in conakry, guinea, who were beaten up by a mob including two local policemen supposedly there to keep the delivery of the expulsee safe, and this is not new, I remember reading about a policeman who lost an eye in a similar assault, quite some years ago already.
By the way, this shows the loss of prestige of western/european institutions in "developing" countries, as this type of disrespect would have been unthinkable only 30-40 years ago.
