Did CRS beat a street medic to death during the October 17, 2026 protests in Paris?
X · Primary is a reply with 202 likes; 20 Minutes says images of the beating were 'largement partagées' and two larger spreader posts it cited are now deleted; Libération CheckNews and 20 Minutes both debunked (man, 'Antoine', spoke on 19 Oct; Paris parquet opened inquiry).
False
The video is authentic footage showing a street medic being violently arrested on October 17, 2026, but the post's claim that CRS 'beat him to death' is false: multiple news outlets and the person filmed confirm he is alive; a separate death that day was wrongly conflated with the video.
