A French police officer was charged on Tuesday with violence following the firing of a tear gas grenade at a 14-year-old student at close range. The incident occurred during a series of high school protests that have recently taken place across France.
Authorities have characterized the broader demonstrations as instances of urban violence, justifying the use of tear gas and other crowd control measures. The legal action against the officer follows ongoing unrest in the country, with human rights organizations now providing commentary on the state's response to the student protests.
