BRAV-M, PROTECTION OR AGRESSION? | M6 | 66 minutes

Created in March 2019 during the yellow vest movement, the Brav-M, the motorized brigade for the repression of violent actions, have been the subject of criticism for several days as part of the demonstrations against the pension reform.

On social networks, dozens of shocking videos show the violence allegedly committed by the Brav-M. This brigade, easily spotted since it circulates on a motorcycle, strangely recalls the brigade of voltigeurs with very controversial methods.

Free baton blows on peaceful demonstrators, alleged sexual assaults during forceful arrests… Recently, a video shows Brav-M

officers riding a motorcycle over a protester on the ground. Souleyman and Salomé, two students violently arrested in Paris on March 20 and then placed in custody, experienced these excesses.

What is the role of this police unit? What are his methods? Why is it singled out?
