It was supposed to be a non-violent demonstration, more like a big party. And like all non-violent demonstrations it turned nasty, a student has lost an eye, a CRS policeman has had a hand torn off, etc. The day after this huge demonstration a march has taken place in Paris to protest against ‘police brutality’. It has passed off in an atmosphere ‘of overwhelming dignity’ reports the commentator, who is clearly on the students’ side.
