Tarn, France - June 9, 2024

This past weekend witnessed a disturbing surge in violence, with law enforcement officers becoming targets of mortar fire and Molotov cocktail attacks as they worked tirelessly to maintain public order.

Reports indicate that gendarmes and police officers faced a barrage of projectiles, including Molotov cocktails, in blatant acts of aggression. These reprehensible actions not only endangered the lives of the officers but also undermined the rule of law and societal safety.
