Security guard's use of a taser sparks controversy, with League and FDI criticizing Lo Russo, labeling Turin as insecure: "Criticizes Turin for Insecurity"
In the heart of Italy, the city of Turin finds itself at the centre of a heated debate. The proposal to equip the city's municipal police with tasers, a non-lethal weapon used for self-defence, has sparked controversy among local politicians.
Stefano Lo Russo, the mayor of Turin, has voiced his opposition to the idea, considering it unnecessary. He maintains that the municipal police have administrative control competencies, while the forces of law and order have public order competencies.
The current situation in Turin, however, paints a different picture. Incidents of petty crime in the suburbs and city centre shootings have become significant issues, causing concern among the city's residents.
The opposition parties, including the Brothers of Italy and certain members of City Council 4, have proposed the idea of equipping the Turin police with tasers to increase security. However, Lo Russo has categorically rejected this proposal.
Giovanni Crosetto, the group leader of Brothers of Italy in the City Council and MEP, has criticised Lo Russo for not providing adequate tools for self-defence to the municipal police. Crosetto believes that the taser is a modern, effective, and non-lethal tool that could help reduce the incidents of violence in the city.
The League's group leader at City Hall, Fabrizio Ricca, has also criticised Lo Russo, stating that if the left hadn't ignored the increase in crime for years, the need for tasers wouldn't exist today.
The events in Olbia and Genoa, involving the use of tasers by the carabinieri, have been mentioned in the context of the discussion about equipping Turin's municipal police with tasers. However, the victims of these incidents are only mentioned in the background of the article.
Lo Russo has called on the Meloni government for more law enforcement officers, more police cars, and more carabinieri jeeps on the streets. However, the article does not provide specific details about the government's response to this request.
Crosetto states that Lo Russo's stance on not equipping the municipal police with tasers is a demonstration of an administration that prioritises ideology over security. He also comments that Lo Russo could have stayed on vacation, as no one noticed his absence in Turin, where someone is reportedly killed every week.
The controversy surrounding the proposal to equip Turin's municipal police with tasers to increase security in the city continues, with no clear resolution in sight.
