More than 10,000 people took to the streets across France on Sunday to protest a proposed law granting police and gendarmes a presumption of self-defense in the use of their weapons, Le Monde reported.

The bill, passed by the National Assembly on July 7, provides that officers are "presumed to have acted" lawfully when they "make use of their weapons." Opponents have labeled the measure a "license to kill," according to the publisher.

The nationwide turnout reflects continued opposition to the legislation among segments of the French public.
