Riot police in France were met with flying pieces of debris as they fired tear gas into a crowd of protesters in Paris that had gathered at an unauthorized assembly on Tuesday and had started fires.
Thousands of people gathered to protest police militarization and racial injustice, according to The Associated Press.
The Paris rally reportedly paid tribute to Adama Traore, a French black man who died while in police custody. The protests come as various protests have also broken out within the United States over the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd.
“When you refuse to treat the problem of racism… it leads to what we see in the United States,” Dominique Sopo, head of French activist group SOS Racisme, told The AP.
