French President Emmanuel Macron came under fire after his office suspended one of his aides who was caught on camera beating up a May Day protester but did not inform law enforcement authorities. Alexandre Benalla, one of Macron’s top security officers, was filmed wearing a police helmet and identification tag dragging a woman away before then striking and stamping on an unarmed demonstrator at a May Day rally. French newspaper Le Monde released the footage and Benalla was later identified as a member of the presidency staff.
