Anger of the French police. The spark, on June 8, is fueled by the Minister of the Interior, after demonstrations denouncing police violence and racism among the police. Christophe Castaner then announced the abandonment of a controversial questioning technique (before going back) and the fight against racism in the institution.
Words considered as a release of the executive vis-à-vis its agents. Since then, the police have expressed a "fed up" with speaking out, rallies, like yesterday in Perpignan, Saint-Denis and Mulhouse.
Reactions expressed in the field and on social networks. On these networks, a document released a few days ago has been much talked about: a handrail allegedly written by the police. They write that they did not arrest a passer-by who insulted them "in order to avoid any possible riot or future accusation of racism".
