French elites easily call out racism and police brutality in the US or elsewhere but they have no lessons to give when we see what’s going on here.
As thousands tool to the street to call out police brutality in France and as anger is being expressed across the United States following the death of George Floyd, this podcast analyzes the deep roots of police brutality in France.
