Several men of the brigade anticriminalité fight with a man. They push his face, which is covered by blood, down on the pavement. Even his socks are blood-stained, his shoe having been lost in the fight. "Come on, take pictures," he yells, hoping that one of the photos would make it into the french papers on monday, showing that people are willing to suffer in their fight against racism. I find myself quickly surrounded by other policemen, pointing with tear gas launchers on us and threatening to delete our pictures if we'd continue.

Probably the man will only go down in the police's statistics as one of the "slightly injured" persons of this afternoon.
