Police everywhere need to be reminded that they work for the people of their communities. Retrain them all. Reform every department.

Safe to assume no one read the article. Because if they did, they would have seen this occurred because he wasn't wearing a mask. And, if in case you all forgot, 'just wear a damn mask.' Sheesh. Simple fix, right?

So, politicians and officials make unconstitutional draconian mandates with closures and mask mandates that have destroyed small businesses and life as we know it, and they use police to enforce it. YET, we are pissed at the police and not the politicians and officials?

Should check the police officers bank account. Somebody outside maybe paying them to stir revenge. 😁

This is why Black Lives Matter needed a global refrain.

In the USA, beating black people is a part of policemen,s routine. There is no law and justice to stop police brutality in the USA.

There has been a seething racist section of France ever since the emergence of Le Pen. It just seeped into the police with the trump years.

I’m sure he was an innocent contributing citizen of the world.

Where in the video do police actually 'beat' the suspect? It pretty much looks like a struggle the entire time with police striking him one or two times as he refuses to cooperate.

“President Emmanuel Macron's government is trying to push through controversial legislation that would restrict the filming of police.” Nah- keep filming them. They can’t be the only ones with cameras on. Then they edit it to eff and back before they release it. Keep filming.

So what ...thousands of every color mostly white get beat every day

I guess police are the same everywhere

You guys can't even walk outside without a face mask over there? In the wide open world and all?

Feel sorry for the guy no doubt ...but here in the USA we can't take the high road , a peaceful protester that took a knee is a traitor and a kid who shot 2 people while they was protesting is a hero to some here ..

Why are people surprised? France 🇫🇷 is the most racist country in Europe

Faced with crimes by police captured on video, the first response is to make videos illegal. That tells you everything you need to know about 'police accountability.'

4 to 1. Cowards!

Only in trumps America

“Fuck the police , thats how i feel “ YG

Empath_Coach_RR Racism not just a US thing. Despicable!

Don’t pass this!

No one ever talks about the benefits of Brexit, maybe there are only a few, but one is British police not being dragged down the rabbit hole of antisocial and Draconian, frankly backwards European policing techniques. amateurs and thugs.

This tells me being Black is not safe from being beatdown or killed by police no matter what country you live in.😔

Stay in your lane French police

Cell phone cameras have proven to be the most effective tool in holding the police accountable for their actions.

France is a savage country hiding behind French cuisine which tastes like crap

So ashamed of our country right now... but, hey, we're used to it...

Looks like France needs a good old fashion riot 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

I seem to remember French police officers throwing a hissy fit at the mere suggestion that they curb the use of chokehold techniques. Guess it was foolish of us not to trust their judgement and restraint after all.

BLM

I know a couple in New Hampshire who are probably eating this up. Assholes all.

Needs more context. Show full video or state 'with little actual video footage'
