On November 27th the anarchist acronym "ACAB", which stands for All Cops Are Bastards (all cops are bastards) was sprayed on the wall of the Saint Pierre Church in Mordelles. The tag measured 3 by 1 meters and was erased by the municipal services of the commune of Mordelles.

The church in question is the church of Saint-Pierre (parish of Sainte-Mélaine-aux-Rives-du-Meu, diocese of Rennes, Dol and Saint-Malo). The acronym ACAB is an acronym of the English All Cops Are Bastards (all cops are bastards), anarchist slogan. We congratulate the municipal services of the municipality of Mordelles for the speed of its intervention on the wall of the church. It would be good, too, that the anarchist symbol of the circled A be erased from the wall of the public toilets.
