Protesters clash with police at Paris protest against police violence

The majority of the thousands of demonstrators marched peacefully, but small groups of masked protesters dressed in black smashed shop windows and set two cars, a motorcycle and a cafe on fire. The fires were put out quickly.

The interior ministry said it had counted 46,000 protesters in Paris. Police said they had made nine arrests.The protests follow the publication this week of CCTV footage of the minutes-long beating of Black music producer Michel Zecler by three police officers in Paris on Nov. 21. The bill would make it a crime to circulate images of police officers in certain circumstances, which opponents say would limit press freedom.

The images of Zecler being beaten have circulated widely on social media and in the French and foreign press. President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday the images were shameful for France.“What is happening in Paris is extremely worrying and we cannot let this pass. I have spent two years with the yellow vests and I have seen all the violence,” demonstrator Caroline Schatz told Reuters at the Paris march.

No one cares. 'Poor people are watching you.' I am sure the Jews, watched the Nazis, it did not change what happened. Khmer, also... Did not change what happened. Thing is, in the US, people voted in Biden, wait until that chicken roost. The World, seems to want the worst?

They write signs in English at French demos now do they?

London next. Time to turn the tide against this assault on civil liberties.

France is just like England now. They let too many Muslims in

How about civilian violence toward police? Paris can be a tough town with plenty of thugs to deal with and some dangerous arrondissements. I lived in France and people break the law openly all the time, taunt and attack the police--so please take a step back and see both sides!

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Exactly!

And, still, the leading cause of death among black males is other black males, not police violence. They don't seem to complain about that violence.

We are very concerned about police violance in Paris.... And also about Human rights and freedom of speech... 😂😂 So called democratic european countries....

Il parle a qui là.

The police is just following the orders of the govt . The real problem is the govt. Macron is immature and inexperienced to run govt.

YvonneTelting Actually, no we’re not.

Using violence to protest against violence? 🙄🤨 Yeah, it makes perfect sense

France must be strict and all must follow national laws

Why is the perception of violence on the part of protesters always characterized as 'clashing' and yet violence at the hands of agents of the state (police) is 'maintaining law & order?'

'France is a country that is in crisis today'

Yup, we watching.

This demonstration is a shame ManifDeLaHonte

By using violence? Nice.

France is the world's butthole.

Emily In Paris Flew Golden Globes Judges to Paris, and Suddenly Its Award Nominations Make SenseThe 2021 Golden Globe Award nominations were announced at the beginning of this month, and they were completely confounding: Emily In Paris, an objectively unimaginative show, received two nominations while the critically acclaimed I May Destroy You was entirely snubbed. Three women were nominated in the Best Director category (Regina King, Chloé Zhao, Emerald Fennell), but the year’s Black-led Oscar contenders like Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and Judas and the Black Messiah, didn’t receive Best Picture nominations. None of this made any sense, and the Los Angeles Times has uncovered why: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the non-profit comprised of the 87 critics responsible for the Globe nominations—none of whom are Black—accepts “thousands of dollars in emoluments” from studios they award, creating a “culture of corruption,” according to a lawsuit filed by Norwegian entertainment journalist Kjersti Flaa.\n abbygov Is this true? I’m shocked 😱 🙄
