you can't really compare the police in the USA and the police in France.
US cops are just a rogue and racist organisation, who apply their own law (mostly based on racial profiling).
I think that comparing it to the police in the Philippines would be more appropriate.
The victim in this case got hated by the right wing was because he was a stereotypical drug dealer who drove off, and nothing else, and they wanted the police to be able to work.

Of course. Your point is a good one. But police in France aren't being dragged by cars when they stick an arm through the window, so I was accepting the implicit move in framing.
