France's Senate is set to vote on a controversial bill that would presume police acted in self-defence when using firearms, shifting the burden of proof to complainants. The bill, approved by the National Assembly in July, has sparked nationwide protests, with critics warning it could entrench impunity. France already has one of Western Europe's highest rates of fatal police shootings.
