French student protests and police conduct incidents

Overview

High school protests in France have been marked by several incidents involving law enforcement. In Montpellier, a journalist reported being struck by an unmarked police motorcycle while filming the arrest of a minor; witnesses alleged the collision was intentional, and the officer involved was reportedly not wearing mandatory identification.

In Toulouse, a police motorcyclist crashed during a confrontation at Bellevue high school involving students and tear gas. In Dunkerque, an investigation was launched after video footage showed a National Police vehicle performing high-speed maneuvers near protesters. While no injuries were reported in the Dunkerque incident, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirmed a disciplinary inquiry and a formal reprimand, while human rights groups described the footage as “shocking.”
