2020-11-27 14:33 France Police Brutality, police officers suspended over beating of black man
A Black man beaten up by several French police officers said he is seeking justice after the publication of videos showing officers repeatedly punching him, using a truncheon and tear gas against him for no apparent reason. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered the officers involved in the case suspended. The incident came as President Emmanuel Macron’s government is pushing a new bill that restricts the ability to film police, which has prompted protests from civil liberties groups and journalists concerned that it would allow police brutality to go undiscovered and unpunished.
US President Barack Obama addressed hundreds of people in Dallas on Tuesday, at a memorial service for the five policemen who were killed at a protest organised in response to the fatal shootings of two black men last week.

The suspect was identified as Micah Xavier Johnson who was killed by a detonation squad robot in the standoff with the police.

Families and colleagues of the five officers who died - four Dallas Police officers and one DART officer - were in attendance at the vigil.
