It was supposed to be a showcase of the French government’s new crackdown on domestic violence.
But instead, when the French president, Emmanuel Macron, visited the national domestic violence hotline and listened in to the morning’s calls, he heard in real time how a local police officer was refusing to help a woman in danger.
The French gendarmerie, or military police, on Wednesday opened an investigation into “failings” over the incident, which the president said highlighted the lack of understanding of domestic violence.
YIKES.There’s screwing up in front of the boss, and there’s accidentally sending the CEO of your company a video of you vandalizing company equipment “for the lulz”
Hopefully the French police get forced to step up their game after this incident big time.
