Belgian Riots: Factions Clash Over Languages Tens of thousands of Flemish-speaking Belgians (Flemings) from the North parade in Brussels and clash with their French-speaking countrymen. Both want their languages used more in official business. Police brutality, police hitting with clubs. Woman holds cloth to her head, injured, bleeding. Police trying to control crowd. Rioters destroy demonstrators signs, anger. Smoke filled street with crowds.
