This is the best summary I could come up with:
Three French police officers have been given suspended prison sentences for leaving a man with “serious anal injuries” after a stop and search arrest.
Theodore Luhaka was also teargassed and hit in the head when he was stopped by police at the age of 22 in the Paris suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois in February 2017.
The police officers who stopped him, Marc-Antoine Castelain, Jeremie Dulin, and Tony Hochart, were convicted of voluntary violence on Friday.
Castelain, who was initially charged with rape, was handed a one-year sentence, while his colleagues, who were found to have beaten Mr Luhaka, were given ones of three months.
Mr Luhaka’s lawyer Antoine Vey described the outcome as a “victory”, which “confirms Theo was a victim and nothing justifies that he was beaten”.
It comes after a 17-year-old boy, Nahel Merzouk, was shot dead by police in the Paris suburb of Nanterre in June last year.
The original article contains 367 words, the summary contains 150 words. Saved 59%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

It really feels like the powers that be have been tempting vigilante justice for too long.

It’s the root of all justice and the kind the world badly needs right now, honestly.
And I can already hear some dumbass screaming “tHaT’s NOT jUsTiCE”, who forgot:
Laws are not actually hard-coded into reality. They are, at best, collective agreements people can ignore at any time. Usually they’re orders from a dominant human who managed to secure power over others.
Legal systems are NOT the source of morality; they’re social institutions we set up to enact enforcement of laws for us and we can dismantle them at any time. Usually they’re forcibly imposed upon other people against their will. Either way, people can and do dismantle them at their will.
Justice is subjective and means many different things to many different people, and that does in fact mean vigilante justice qualifies as justice if enough people believe it does.
We so desperately need a revolution on this planet. 🤦

How are you going to do collective anything when you’ve decided that almost everyone else is “stupid, passive and submissive”? Seriously. Do you think you’re going to sneer your way to revolution? There are no structural barriers to emancipation, it’s just too many individuals being a bit crap?
Come the fuck on.

By telling you the truth whether you like it or not.
And whether you want to hear it or not, this problem is ultimately our fault, because we allowed ourselves to be bullied and manipulated into conforming to the twisted ideology of a sick society, did not independently challenge or question anything it told us, and completely stomped anyone who did into oblivion.
That includes me, I am guilty of it too. And so are you by looking for reasons to undermine our cause and subjugate our emotions like you always do when we call for revolution. 🙄
But it’s not going to work. I will not give you and your twisted kind the fight that you want.
YOU WILL NOT discourage us from taking back our lives.

That’s grotesque. The cops damage this guy for life and they get a slap on the wrists. The seriousness of the punishment should fit the seriousness of the crime.

Police forces are the the primary Ideological State Apparatus of Repression. They do not exist to protect the public from crime, they exist to protect the property rights of the owners of the means of production. Keeping the proles in a state of fear is them just doing their job.

Suggesting people be hung from the Arc de Triomphe is a call to violence and got your comment removed. That’s not a corporate statement, it’s a clear violation of rule 6.
Suggesting the mods here are corporate shills also breaks rule 6:

Which gets THIS comment removed and earns you a 3 day ban.
And the ban evasion gets you a perma ban. Congrats!

How very [NYPD](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abner_Louima#:~:text=Abner … of them, and seriously WTF? Power tripping pig pieces of shit.
At least that ended up with actual prison sentences. What the fuck, France
Yeah, our current gov loves them some police brutality. Really does.
🤔 I need to make a police brutality megathread over at !benjamingetthemusket@lemmy.cafe
Actually, we need a global version of that sub. I don’t know what we’d call it. Robespierre, Get The Guillotine?
Name it “Sticking kabobs in pig buttholes”
That’s a little bit too on-the-nose.
Hmm 🤔
There is !quefaitlapolice@jlai.lu about French police.
holy fuck what is wrong with people. the guys own lawyer claims this is a successful prosecution??
these 'officers' sodomized a guy on the roadside to the point of serious injury and got a slap on the wrist.
This is what happens when evil people figure out how stupid, passive and submissive normal people actually are and learn to take advantage of it.
We need to stop being that way and actually stick our collective boot up their asses.
