Implicated for violence against "yellow vests" in a Burger King in Paris in 2018, a police commissioner and a commander are threatened with a warning in the disciplinary council on Tuesday, according to union sources.

The day before, a police captain escaped a sanction during his appearance and a second a reprimand according to two union sources.

These sanctions are only proposals which are then sent to the General Directorate of the National Police (DGPN).

The warning is a disciplinary sanction of the first group, the lowest in the public service, and is not the subject of any mention in the file of the agent.

The blame appears in the agent's file but disappears after three years if no new fault is committed in the meantime.

These sanctions, which are only proposals, must now be sent to the General Directorate of the National Police (DGPN), which will decide whether or not to validate them.

This Tuesday, nine CRS, officers and peacekeepers, must appear in turn.

Scene of violence filmed

On December 1, 2018, during act 3 of the mobilization of "yellow vests", around thirty demonstrators and a few journalists had taken refuge in a Burger King restaurant in the capital, at the end of a day marked by numerous violence including the ransacking of the Arc de Triomphe.

A dozen CRS, who arrived a few minutes later, entered and beat several demonstrators, some lying on the ground, with batons.

The scene had been filmed.

On the judicial level, at least eight CRS have been indicted in this case for "willful violence by a person holding public authority", according to an AFP count.

In an investigation report from June 2020, the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) considered that the demonstrators "had taken refuge inside the establishment due to the massive presence of tear gas on the avenue”.

“Of all the blows with truncheons or kicks, none seemed justified, necessary or proportionate”, had decided the “police of the police”.
