Protesters gathered in Caen, France, on Sunday, September 20, against a proposed law that would establish a presumption of legitimate self-defense for police officers and gendarmes, France 24 reported.

The bill, adopted in first reading by the National Assembly on July 7, would presume officers acted legally when using their weapons unless proven otherwise, according to the report. Opponents of the measure say it risks weakening oversight of law enforcement's use of weapons, France 24 said.
