riot police: Demonstrators carried banners with portraits of victims of alleged police brutality, according to Metro News. Anarchists faced off with riot police at the end of the march and tear gas was fired but clashes remained limited in scope and violence. The demonstration was the latest protest sparked by the alleged rape in February of a young black man with a police baton, and other police abuse. The alleged police rape of Theo in the Paris suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois turned the 22-year-old into a symbol for minorities standing up to police violence. He was hospitalized for two weeks. His last name hasn't been publicly released.
