Thousands have demonstrated in France against proposed legislation that would grant police a presumption of legitimate self-defense when using their weapons. Supporters of the bill say it would better protect officers in the line of duty, but critics condemn it as a licence to kill. The debate comes at a time when the issue of police brutality is once again in the spotlight. Al Jazeera’s Natacha Butler reports from Paris, France.
