GENEVA post-G8: Videos, photographs and testimonies; All is set to track law-breakers and hooligans. A carefully planned work continued today by two inspectors, which has led to 200 arrests so far. The G8 police force unit had been dissolved in December 2003; however, it took up service again, in smaller numbers -- two inspectors. These inspectors view films and photographs received from informers and from other police officers. They come to the streets of Geneva where they plan on finding "law-breakers/hooligans." They take new photographs -- perhaps to make a database of activists because they think that they can be the future "law-breakers/hooligans" of future riots in Geneva? As one of the 2 inspectors says to another: "I saw two of my colleagues being lynched during meetings again OMC, in 1998 (tells an inspector) I will be never able to forget." It is not the only thing which the police officer will not forget! Because "Il n'y a pas que le Carpacio comme plat qui se mange froid!" (A French expression. The idea is "the memories are not forgotten" or "resentments are not forgotten.")
