Nearly 30 French police officers are facing disciplinary action for holding a party inside a police station where they were filmed dancing the Macarena, in a clear violation of multiple coronavirus protection rules. A video from the event posted by online media Loopsider shows several people dancing closely together without masks in a crowded room. The footage appears to show officers singing in close proximity together while enjoying drinks at the leaving party for a colleague in the Paris suburb of Aubervilliers. It prompted criticism at a time when French police are out every night enforcing a 6pm - 6am virus curfew, and are under scrutiny for abuses during violent protests and identity checks. pic.twitter.com/ToApjj2on9 — Loopsider (@Loopsidernews) January 27, 2021Nearly 30 French police officers are facing disciplinary action for holding a party inside a police station where they were filmed dancing the Macarena, in a clear violation of multiple coronavirus protection rules.
