Police officers holding flares march during a rally to demand better working conditions Thursday in Paris. Hundreds of students are barricading school entrances across Paris and demonstrating in protests against alleged police brutality, just as a major union of police officers staged its own rally to demand more personnel and equipment. The banner reads "insults, aggressions, calumny, fed up."
