A black man was beaten up by several French police officers inside his music studio in Paris, suffering injuries to his head, forearms and legs. Michel Zecler said that the officers repeatedly hurled insults at him, including a very strong racist epithet, he added that he still does not understand why officers decided to arrest him. At one point, the officers called in reinforcements and went outside. They then threw a tear gas grenade into the studio to get those inside to come out, according to Zecler’s lawyer. The French interior minister has ordered for the officers involved in the case to be suspended.
