“Ce ne sera plus à l’auteur du tir d’apporter la preuve qu’il a agi en état de légitime défense, mais à la victime de prouver que ce tir n’était pas conforme à la loi. La France deviendrait dès lors un pays où une mort par tir policier ne donnerait lieu à aucune enquête automatique.”Read statement
“Every potentially unlawful death involving law enforcement officials must be investigated through a prompt, thorough, effective, independent, impartial and transparent investigation. The duty to investigate every potentially unlawful killing rests with the State. It cannot be displaced, in law or in practice, by requiring victims or their families to rebut a legal presumption that the use of potentially lethal force was lawful before the facts have been independently established.”Read statement
