The Relationship Between the French State and the Police in Normandy

French police are not ready to be fairly brutal with anyone if they feel the need. Police force is there to protect the government and the state rather than serve the people in a way. You have a sense of almost a kind of colonial force policing France within France. It's awful that perhaps it's not worse than what you find in the US or Britain, but it's very difficult, I think, for any French government,. However, the former may think it is to solve that because you've seen it exactly what happened during the present rights.
