Marseille: “it’s too much”, suspended prison sentence required against two police officers for violence against two demonstrators. “The use of force is completely justified to disperse a crowd, but its use is disproportionate,” said Sylvie Odier, deputy prosecutor at the Marseille judicial court, denouncing “illegitimate violence” “We only act on orders and when we shout 'Move back! Nobody passes!'', you have to obey,” explained one of the defendants.
The judgment will be delivered on May 31.
