France has been rocked by weeks of protests against a push for labor reform by French President Francois Hollande.
Hollande has sought to cut France's employment rate, which is holding above 10%, by making it easier for individual employers to fire and hire employees. Protests, which have frequently turned violent against the measure, insist that such a law would cut away at France's high standards of labor protection.
The protests have put added pressure on France's police, which are still coping with a state of emergency following November's terror attacks. In response to the violent protests, France's police held an "anticop hatred" demonstration that was marred by a police car being torched.
