Gruesome injuries throw spotlight on France's policing of high school protests
Beyond physical wounds, the massive use of police arrests and tactics that government critics and human rights campaigners allege have been unnecessarily violent is giving a generation of French schoolchildren - and soon-to-be voters - a real-life education about state power and their rights as citizens, and how the two sometimes clash.
TL;DR
- Police tactics and arrests during protests are teaching French schoolchildren about state power.
- Critics and human rights campaigners allege unnecessarily violent police tactics.
- This experience is educating young people about their rights as citizens.
- The events highlight the clashes between state power and citizen rights.
