Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across #France to demonstrate against police brutality and a new legislation that would restrict the public from filming and taking identifiable pictures of #police officers. Article 24, an amendment to France’s global security legislation, would carry a punishment of one year and jail and up to a €45,000 fine for those found guilty of publishing content of police with the aim of “damaging their physical or psychological integrity.” Protests in #Paris, which saw some 200,000 demonstrators, devolved into rioting and violence following intense clashes with police.
