The public in Paris goes against their worst enemy: the brutal and racist police.

France protests turn violent as people demonstrate against new filming law and police brutality The size of the protests in Paris and other cities have been fuelled by footage that showed a black man being beaten by officers.

And what the French leader Emmanuel Macron suggest??? “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" ("Let them eat cake").

Will the public win justice over the racist injustice law enforcement in France?

This time the daily French-police-crimes has been catches on hidden camera. So every official fake a “shock” from a traditional police behavior, while passing a law against filming police crimes. Such an illegal law may finally lead to the second French Revolution.
