Apparently, the problem has taken root more deeply over the years due to uncontrolled migration. France has become a country that migrants consider their own: They don't assimilate, they don't follow the rules, they disobey the French police they believe the French police and law enforcers infringe on their rights.

Police unions condemned the detention of their colleagues, arguing that the authorities were spoiling the protesters.
