The protesters used slogans from the American protest movement to call for justice for Adama Traore, whose death four years ago has been a rallying cause against police brutality in France.
Following a dispute over an identity check, Traore, 24, was apprehended in a house where he hid after leading police on a 15-minute chase in 2016.
Traore lost consciousness in their vehicle and died at a nearby police station. He was still handcuffed when paramedics arrived. Instead, the experts found Traore died of heart failure possibly brought on by underlying health conditions in a context of"intense stress" and physical exertion, as well as the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol -- the active ingredient of cannabis -- in his body.
