They are doing the same thing in France and the media hides it EVERY SINGLE TIME! Our minister of the interior told us: "people of color don't get jumped on for the single reason of their skin color". The government is silencing us. #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloydWasMurdered https://twitter.com/abde49/status/1266127987793170432

This minister is telling a woman using her freedom of speech to speak about the racial violence we face that she may face criminal charges. Stangly enough "Je suis Charlie" a phrase used by the government following the Charlie Hebdo attack to promote free speech doesn't work here

During this quarantine that lasted from march 17 to may 11 in France there has been a number of unjustified acts of violence from the police against minorities, especially people of color. There was NO media coverage. NO statement from the president

In more privileged areas of Paris for example (18ème) which are predominantly white the police lets people dance in the middle of a pandemic and of quarantine. And when they come they proceed calmly compared to them randomly attacking people in the suburbs https://twitter.com/CocoChrist/status/1254125416421437440?s=19

Also there is a history of the french police being racist, mysogynistic and homophobic. Beating minorities and insulting em with slurs and degradation, laughing at rape victim's testimonies...A thread concerning some of their violence against black people: https://twitter.com/badgalfanta/status/1265816657869639682?s=19

If there's something else I should add to this thread lemme no. KEEP RTing this thread too! People need to read this!
