French journalist writes a book exposing institutional racism and rampant police violence after undergoing the full process of joining the police and becoming a patrol officer.
Two weeks into his patrol job he is pressured into signing a false report to cover up a police beating.
And this is France. Policing in France can be pretty rough by European standards, but still.
And for nuance sake also highlights how the police is woefully underfunded, undertrained, understaffed at command level with poor equipment and terrible facilities leading to a hostile work environment where a minority of bullies run the show and commit most of the violence, causing rampant depression among the force and a huge spike of cops committing suicide.
