Paris, December 2 (RHC)-- French politicians have announced they will totally rewrite a controversial new security bill after weeks of nationwide protests.  The proposed law would have banned the publication of images of police officers and increased police powers. 

Earlier this week, four French police officers were charged with assaulting Black music producer Michel Zecler while hurling racial epithets at him.  Video of the incident went viral at a time when many in France feared the proposed security law would be used to cover up future cases of police brutality.
