(Breitbart) A French police officer, who was brutally beaten by youths after they refused to leave an area because it was the Islamic holiday of Eid, has awoken from a coma and called on politicians to do more to stop the ongoing violence against police.

The 51-year-old Jean-Paul, whose identity was confirmed by the Loire Department of Public Security (DDSP), released a video from his hospital bed this week on social media in which he thanked the medical staff who have treated him.

Jean-Paul said, according to Francebleu: “I’m making this video because we’re fed up. Fear has to change sides. If nothing is done, tomorrow there will be another police officer or another citizen in my place. It’s never going to stop.”
