Violent and radicalized society concerns French police

French police are raising concerns about growing violence across society amid mounting tensions and recent demonstrations and riots, particularly in Marseille.

Eddy Sid, a police officer and spokesperson for the Unité Police union in the Bouches-du-Rhône region, says officers are receiving limited government support while facing increasingly violent behaviour.

He also points to police staffing levels remaining similar to those of 20 years ago, despite France's population growing by between five and seven million.
