In this case, the video footage was shown to a judge. It only prevented more damage on the victim's life, but had zero impact on the policemen. As long as policemen are not accountable for their acts, no one is safe in their hands. In France, there have been many videos of policemen shooting citizens in the head, kicking people on the ground, and so on. So what? None of them will ever lose their job for this, or suffer any serious penalty. Here are 2 stories about the French police. One where a complete footage was not enough for justice to act. And one where the police footage was conveniently lost. Just a single French policeman has been sentenced for a flash ball misuse. It was after a high school boy was shot in the head and permanently disabled. The boy's family filed a complaint. Policemen claimed self-defense and accused the boy of attacking them. During the trial, a video proved that a police officer, in a group of policemen, aimed then shot at the boy that was slowly pushing a trash can. 7 years after the assault, the police officer was sentenced to 3 years... with no flash ball gun. Policemen can assault a boy and lie to a judge, then go on as cops. https://www.20minutes.fr/paris/2039131-20170328-lyceen-blesse-tir-flash-ball-montreuil-peine-policier-alourdie-appel https://www.20minutes.fr/paris/2039131-20170328-lyceen-bless... In another well-known case in France, a black man died in a police cell. According to the police report, he killed himself by banging his head on the walls. The CCTV in the cell was sabotaged. The post-mortem medical report was lost. The family filed a complaint. 8 years later, the French justice ruled that the police report was a complete lie, but refused to prosecute anyone, not even the policemen that wrote the false report. https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2009/01/24/l-etonnant-dossier-judiciaire-d-un-homme-mort-en-garde-a-vue_1146042_3224.html https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2009/01/24/l-etonnant...
