What FACTLY found

Video of a police vehicle being attacked is actually from Italy where protesters vandalized a police vehicle. The other video is on the internet at least since January 2020 and evidence suggests this video is of a demonstration observed in Hamburg, Germany against the oppression of Uighurs in China. It is clear that these videos have nothing to do with recent protests in France
