A video showing a policeman undressing a man has circulated widely on Twitter. According to BFMTV, which reports the information, an investigation has been opened.
In this video, which would have been filmed Thursday, on the sidelines of a demonstration against police violence, we see a policeman stripping a man, in the middle of the street in Lyon.
Quoting the Lyon public prosecutor’s office, which confirmed the information to it, BFMTV indicates that an investigation has been opened for violence by a person holding public authority who has not caused an ITT day, following a video posted on Twitter.
One wonders what went through his head to this policeman to strip a man in the middle of the street on the sidelines of a demonstration against police violence. The man will finish the private parts in the air.
