France is in its fifth weekend of protests over a new police bill that critics say could give officers too much freedom to use force.
High-school students, the Yellow Vest movement and many others are out in the streets, not just against the bill but also calling out high living costs and police brutality, all while presidential elections are coming up next year.
'License to kill' bill criticized
The bill, nicknamed License to Kill, has already passed one house and lets police use lethal force if they feel threatened.
Protesters worry this will make it even harder to hold officers accountable for misconduct.
The movement has spread beyond Paris to cities like Lyon and Marseille, drawing around 200,000 people at its peak.
Unions have brushed off a recent wage increase from the government and are planning more strikes, showing that frustration runs deep.
