Why is Amnesty criticising police?

Amnesty International often criticises French police tactics during protests, citing concerns over excessive force and the use of certain crowd control measures. The 6,100 arrests, mostly minors, and hundreds injured during the school protests highlight these ongoing tensions and the perceived heavy-handedness of the police response.
