Dozens of police cars converged at the Arc de Triomphe in central Paris on Saturday in defiance of the government, days after authorities promised “zero tolerance” for racism within law enforcement staff.
BFM television showed dozens of parked vehicles roaring their sirens and flashing blue lights in front of the monument, where intense unrest had taken place in December 2018 at the beginning of the “yellow vests” anti-government protests.
The French police had already marched in protest along Paris’ Champs Elysees boulevard to the interior ministry on Friday.
