Since Thursday and the muscular arrest of a young person during an urban rodeo, the situation has been tense in this sensitive district of Essonne.
The wide dissemination on social networks of a video showing the mother of this young person repelled by the tear gas jet of a police officer as she walked towards her son, pinned to the ground, exacerbated the agitation there.
The town hall of Corbeil-Essonnes organized a meeting on Monday between mothers from the neighborhood and police officials, but clashes quickly resumed after the meeting.
