‘My son was killed’: France faces backlash over police firearms bill

France is facing a backlash over a proposed law that would grant police greater immunity from prosecution, with activists warning that it could lead to more impunity.

The proposed law, which is part of a broader bill on internal security, has sparked nationwide protests, with thousands taking to the streets to voice their opposition.

Activists argue that the law would make it harder to prosecute police officers for misconduct, including excessive use of force.

The proposed law comes amid ongoing protests against the government's pension reform plans, which have seen clashes between protesters and police.

The French government has defended the proposed law, saying it is necessary to protect police officers from unfounded accusations.
