Sharing this because it truly disgusted me. This is a short video reporting on a police brutality event that happened last Saturday in France.

It's in French, but basically:

• A music producer is in the street in front of his recording studio. He's a black man. He sees a cop car in the street and doesn't have his mask on, so he immediately goes inside his recording studio.
• The cops saw him; they stop the car, and move inside the recording studio (which they had absolutely no rights to do without the French equivalent of a warrant).
• They start beating the producer senseless, totally unprovoked. He does not fight back (which must've taken some willpower). All along, they're calling him a "dirty <n-word>".
• He does shout for help, and some young people come up from the basement to see what's happening. At least one of them is a minor.
• The cops go outside the recording studio and call for reinforcements.
• At least 20 additional cops arrive; they break the glass of the recording studio and throw a tear gas grenade inside (extremely dangerous and of course widely illegal). They unholster their guns and order the producer to come out.
• He comes out, gets beaten again in the street. Meanwhile some of the cops go fetch the other young people inside and start beating them senseless too.
• At this point one of the cops in the street sees that a neighbour is filming it all with a phone and shouts "camera". They stop beating them as a result.
• They bring them to jail in their precinct. The parents of the one that is a minor are not told about this. The producer is left bleeding for 48 hours without seeing a doctor (also extremely illegal). They're all released after 48 hours.
• All the cops lie openly on their reports. Except it turns out, the music producer had a camera inside the studio and they didn't realize that. The producer is therefore declared completely innocent of any wrongdoing based on the footage. Were it not for that camera, he would've been sentenced to jail.
• The police headquarters announce, a few days after, that they now have absolutely no record of the whole incident. So 23 cops went there and there's now no trace of it.

This all comes a few days after a new terrible law giving police much more powers and preventing people from filming them easily. I'm fucking disgusted - though not surprised.
