"We intervened in a very coherent way, all the groups of Rome took part in this operation, everything happened with the greatest regularity, people were invited to go out and to report obvious grievances – a boy has also threatened a colleague physically, has been identified and we are going to report him – we have not used any form of physical restraint In legal technical jargon this means that we do not have to do anything. We did not use handcuffs, we did not kidnap people with force, used pepper spray or guns or sticks, which among other things we did not have. the strength of conviction to go out, what people did ", said the local police commander, Antonio Di Maggio, at the end of the expulsion." No violence. Are we joking? – I'm suspicious of anyone who writes these things, j e querelo ".
