Flic, a Lady Cop Blook

I thought I'd let David Abiker and Alexandre Boussageon of Radio France introduce our next French blouquin:


"The blog of a woman cop

"One spoke much about the working conditions of the police force, recently; this morning the blog of a woman cop and it is his escutcheon of Police force which decorates the first page of the blog of Benedicte. She is a Lieutenant de Police and she decided to tell all the facets of her trade on a blog and the least which one can say it is that she does it without kindness.

"It is the daily newspaper of a woman cop who in dribbled so much that it took one sabbatical year to blow and put on a blog what arrived to him." (English; French)



All right, I tried resisting and it didn't work. Maybe what is needed for you to create a successful blog and blook is "a one-year sabbatical to 'dribble and blow' what arrives to you."

The book is entitled Flic: Chroniques de la Police Ordinaire and comes from Bénédicte Desforges, published by Editions Michalon.

“I have writing what had touched me or made laugh, which had devastated my conscience, of the regrets not to have known well to make, of the relieves to have done my work, of the images which are printed in my memory and will not leave it any more… I wrote what one hesitates to say. I wrote the best choice than I made of my life: that to be a cop. Obligation of reserve? It is not most important...” (Michalon)
Like so many of the blooks I've looked at here at Blooking Central, "The blog 'Police force', written by a young woman cop, has also noticed him for the quality of its texts and its testimony on the reality of its trade" (WebBagoo, Babel Fish). Desforges writes with a really sharp feather - la plume acérée.
