French Lawmakers Back Bill Giving Police 'Benefit Of Doubt' In Shootings

French lawmakers have supported a bill that would grant police the 'benefit of doubt' in cases involving fatal shootings. The legislation aims to address concerns over the high rate of police-related fatalities in France, which is among the highest in Europe and has been increasing.

This development reflects ongoing debates about police accountability and the use of force in law enforcement.
