Tear gas, fires as thousands protest in Paris against police violence, security bill

Security forces fired tear gas at a protest march against police violence in Paris on Saturday after masked protesters launched flares at their lines, put up barricades and threw stones.
Thousands of people across France marched in protest of a proposed French security law that would restrict sharing images of police.
Civil liberties groups and journalists are concerned that the measure will stifle press freedoms and allow police brutality to go undiscovered and unpunished.
The cause has gained renewed importance in recent days after footage emerged of French police officers beating up a Black man, triggering a nationwide outcry.
French President Emmanuel Macron spoke out against the video images on Friday, saying “they shame us.”

The bill enacts unprecedented constraints on freedom of expression. One particular provision has drawn much attention. According to its terms, any person who publishes images of police officers in their duty in a way that could “harm” their “physical or mental integrity” can face a year in prison and a €45,000 ($53,300) fine.

@Mox Fulder You can't explain because you repeat what you probably heard times and times. There is no reflection behind the things you said. Your sole "argument" is that I might be of a certain type of person because I hold a specific narrative that you have been taught to reject - worse, to hate. I reiterate my question : Why do you call me uneducated ? What is the thing I said that lead you to believe that ?

I see the media has trained you on the meaning of words. Let me help. Not all protests are peaceful. Riots are not protests. I would tell you to look at a dictionary, but folks like Webster have been actively deleting definitions for words that are perceived to be "offensive". For simple evidence, see "sexual preference", which no longer has any definition accoreto MW. Be thankful for protests.

[@ktiemz]

@@dx3910 Be thankful for protests because dictionaries change?? What point are you even trying to make? Also, had to look it up because that sounds preposterous... Sexual preference IS in the MW dictionary, There is however a disclaimer explaining how its an outdated offensive term. Sounds legit, words take on new meaning as culture changes through time. Not sure how that all relates to riots about liberty in Paris though.
