In accordance with Underlined, the policeman was in critical care since last October 29. His hospitalization was due to taking pills. Finally, in the early hours of this Friday the man died.

And to ask the Ministry not only to train its personnel in their functional career, but also to train them to know how to deal with personnel, not all of them are qualified to have people in charge, despite having a degree. Empathy, humanity, the gift of people is not obtained with degrees, “says the union in the text.
“Each worker deserves respect, they are not numbers, they are parents, children, brothers, that such a noble profession does not continue to be transformed into nostalgic commanders who think that pressing, harassing, and making their police officers sick is the way to conduct,” the document concludes. . With the death of Sergio Franco, the number of police officers who have committed suicide so far this year has risen to 18.
