PARIS - Police staged protests in cities across France against a ban on chokehold restraint techniques imposed by the government in response to public anger over the death of George Floyd and alleged police brutality in France.
One van carried a poster reading"No police, no peace". Another carried graphic images of injuries sustained by police officers attacked in the line of duty, with the words:"Who is massacring who?". The unions told the minister the chokehold saved lives and was a technique that officers needed at their disposal until a suitable alternative was found, Mr Fabien Vanhemelryck of the National Police Alliance said after the meeting.
In the Paris suburb of Bobigny late on Thursday evening, officers lined up outside the police station and threw their handcuffs to the ground. In Lyon, police parked their cars around the central Place Bellecour, blue lights flashing.
