French police unions across France have expressed their distress by symbolically discarding their handcuffs, citing a feeling of being abandoned following the death of George Floyd. This action occurred as union representatives met with the Minister of the Interior. The article also touches upon the debate surrounding chokeholds, with one individual, David Augé in Agde, suggesting it is "doubtless the least dangerous" method. Public opinion polls indicate that while a majority of French citizens hold a positive view of the police, their overall image is reportedly deteriorating.
