“Police impunity is the norm in France, and racism is as French as Camembert cheese” Opinion | yasserlouati

, it means that structural white supremacy, partially or fully – depending on what side of the fence you are born – is an integral part of our political landscape.

The French Police is not only a clear symbol of the country’s centralised and authoritarian political regime but also an illustration of its drift towards more authoritarianism and disdain for accountability and reform. The videos of brutalised Yellow Vests did not reveal anything, they just showed that the violence people stayed quiet about when it targeted Blacks and Arabs, was just waiting to be unleashed on the majority white population.

If we are serious about questioning the French Police, then we ought to question the regime it serves, and which gives it a blank cheque. The French Police will not reform itself nor will the authoritarian regime it is defending demand it.
