Two months of protests against labour reforms in France have ensured that there’s a growing feeling of public displeasure towards the police.

French police say that ‘anti-cop’ hatred is on the increase as they stage rallies across the country in protests of their own. As though to emphasize their point, a police car was burnt on Tuesday even as it looks more certain that the new labour reforms will be passed.

A counter protest was organised on the same day as people chanted ‘Everybody hates the Police’.

President Francois Hollande condemned the violence on Tuesday as he ominously declared “Enough is enough, and it cannot go on without a response.”
