4:18 am
these images of the men and to run down police. the stations were submitted for a police union photo competition asking for proof of poor working conditions adding to the pressure is the increasing number of terror incidents with security services failing to prevent seven attacks within the past eight months alone and the police themselves are often becoming targets french police officers a fallen victim to increasing violence over the past year back in april it was here on the seans early say that a jihadist gunman shot dead a police officer and injured two others and in october twenty sixth outside of paris youths held petrol bombs four police officers one nearly died of his injuries . that incident sparked protests from police unions demanding that the french government do more to protect them and protests are under way again across france
