I know this is world news. I must ask though, can the French come help the US like they did in 1776? I'm sure whatever government that comes out of it will be better and also able to pay the French recompense like last time.

    First you need to build a citizen society like in France, being ready to strike and burn tires EVERY time your government does some stupid shit.

    Silent slaves (no, holding signs isn't rioting) will never receive anything resembling justice.

    Civil rights are always taken, never granted.

    And people still speak about the retirement reform which had everybody in the street. They passed it but it haunt them, every law they propose, one of the counter party propose to reverse the retirement law.

  • Police violence in France is une marque de fabrique, but only for brown, black and leftist people. Racism is systemic in the institution, which was created under the occupation/collaboration. Every two to three weeks or so you get to see them beat someone, taunting and mocking. It even spreads to the gendarmerie which used to be a respected and respectful force but has been tainted with such devious morale as the police nationale. And yes they caught themselves on tape. So it's documented.

    Police used to contain itself but since the terrorists attacks in Paris in 2015, every government has blindly supported them.

    The french police nationale is no example, but compared to Ice I suppose it is not yet the worst.

    Laurent-Franck Liénard, defending the officers

    If you remove the accent over the e, his surname is perfect for his job of being an accuracy-challenged testicle.
