Christian Estrosi, president of the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (of which Nice is a part), issued a statement (http://www.metronews.fr/info/femmes-voilees-verbalisees-a-nice-estrosi-de**nce-une-manipulation-qui-denigre-la-police/mphx!QJfMnwMEhQefs/), saying, "Already, complaints were filed to prosecute those who spread the photographs of our municipal police ******rs and those uttering threats against them on social networks."
One incident (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37173673) in particular — which occurred in Nice — has sparked controversy and, it seems, Estrossi's statement. Photos of the incident show police forcing a woman to ******* her burkini and then issuing her a fine. The pictures were published in The Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3754395/Wealthy-Algerian-promises-pay-penalty-Muslim-woman-fined-France-wearing-burkini.html) and circulated widely (http://mashable.com/2016/08/24/french-police-burkini-ban/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) on social media.* Read more...
