Overview

• The Direction interdépartementale de la police nationale announced Friday that an internal investigation will examine the intervention shown in the AFPTV clip.
• The video captures a woman on the ground being kicked as an officer yells “casse-toi,” then pushed back down by another officer as she tries to leave.
• Police sources say evacuation orders and a formal warning were issued beforehand and argue that, at first glance, the actions fit public‑order doctrine.
• Authorities report early‑morning dispersals near the Terrasses du Port and Joliette, with about 200 “hostile” demonstrators, roughly 100 identity checks and 22 arrests.
• The footage has been viewed tens of millions of times and drew denunciations from politicians including Manuel Bompard and Marine Tondelier, while the cameraman says the woman had tripped moments earlier.
