#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. |
