"Je trouve qu'on va un peu loin. Il n'y a plus de freins à l'usage d'une arme."

The National Assembly has adopted at first reading a bill establishing a presumption of legitimate use of weapons for police officers and gendarmes. Supported by the government and part of the right wing, as well as the National Rally-Union for the Republic (RN-UDR), the text will now have to be examined by the Senate. The session was marked by strong tensions, with the left denouncing a risk of a "license to kill," while the measure's proponents believe it will better protect law enforcement officers during their interventions. To expedite the debates in the face of several hundred amendments tabled, the government used a procedure provided for by the Constitution. 00:00 Presumption of legitimate use of weapons by law enforcement: necessary or a license to kill? 01:45 Bruno Poncet: "I think we're going a bit too far. There are no longer any constraints on the use of a weapon.
