The Police watchdog in France (IGPN) has no independence whatsoever and has always been heavily criticized for being a whitewashing institution more than a real watchdog.
The police violence is not as normalized - see riots because they executed a minority race teenager for no reason, something that would be seen as pretty normal in US - but the culture is definitely as messed up.
