officer has revived long-standing questions about the state of the French police and the inability of consecutive governments to reform an institution bound by powerful unions.
“Riots in the US and Britain in the 60s and 80s have led to deep reforms of the police. In France? Nothing for the past 40 years,” he said.

“The interior ministry is all about the human factor, the feelings you have for them, because police officers are under attack every day.” “This is a moment for the country to seriously address the deep issues of racism and racial discrimination in law enforcement,” spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said.
