They did not handcuff him and he refused to have an alcohol test.”He also claimed police officers tried to dissuade them from pressing charges.

As if the alleged racist tirade, reported in Le Parisien, wasn’t bad enough, the police officer was visibly drunk and had been apparently been driving his service car with the flashing light on the dashboard.
