Police Demonstration In Front Of The Bataclan

Several hundred police officers gathered in front of the Bataclan concert hall, infamous for having been the scene of the November 2015 terroristic attacks, in Paris, France, on June 26, 2020 for a symbolic protest action during which police officers threw their handcuffs on the ground to protest against the ban on the strangulation key technique decreed by Interior Minister Christophe Castaner following accusations of police violence and racism in the police, and the lack of support from the latter. This action comes in a climate of police mistrust following the Black Lives Matter movement and the death of George Floyd in the United States. (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto)
