As usual media over here is hyper focussed on highlighting some looting being done instead of why a 17 year old innocent person was shot and killed

But actually he was doing something illegal, which means summary execution by the police of course, that's liberal democracy baby
If you jaywalk once in your life, it’s fair game for the police to execute you with a drone strike.
just some good old consent manufacturing in action
As always respect to the French for at least trying to fight back, as long as that tradition is alive then they also have hope
indeed
Sent police to brutally disperse a protest against police brutality...what could possibly goes wrong?
Same thing happened in the US.
The people: "Hey, we're sick of this shit!"
The cops: "I'll fuckin do it again"
Gonna be hilarious if there's a civil war in France while they were salivating for one in Russia.
Police kill an unarmed teen in France, and the country revolts. Police kill an unarmed teen in America, and we’re told to thank the police.
Je suis France.
The US rioted too. Multiple times
Then people got taken away in unmarked vans, arrested by the feds, shot at, gassed, and crippled. Then they lost their jobs, income, healthcare, and housing due to losing insurance due to “ongoing criminal cases” from rioting charges.
The US doesn’t do anything close to the scale of the French.
Were you asleep for the Floyd riots?
How about Kenosha?
The Los Angeles 1991 Rodney King riots where the city descended into such anarchy that 10,000 US Army soldiers had to be deployed?
There’s is a very very extensive list of riots similar to the ones that are going on in France. But the fact that the Floyd riots in a lot of cities don’t stack up to you is interesting.
Burning without the slightest form of organization never hurt any capitalists or their puppet gov/admins. Insurance goes up for office space, cars, shops, inflation (economic development) more construction and repaid contracts handed out, and things ALWAYS return to a much worse condition than before.
Why worse? Because police has the justification for more police, for better armed police, for even more aggressive police, and this same repressive mechanism works on worker unions striking and protesting, as it is always easy to convert any protest to an "Algerian youth uprising".
The show also gives populists of the far right more leverage to affect the idiots who vote them and eventually place them in power. Cops know and feed this frenzy, abuse, but don't prevent it from happening.
Macron is too liberal, a neo-fascist is overdue from being elected in EU's #2 political/economic power.
Police stations burned in Montpellier, Reims and Orléans, while across France protesters also commandeered construction equipment to smash surveillance cameras or break into and loot stores in a number of cities. There were several unconfirmed reports of BRI units opening fire on protesters with live ammunition, including near the Old Port in Marseille. Police helicopter units were deployed in Marseille, across the northern Paris area, and beyond.
Some police officers have also been shot by protesters who looted an arms depot of some sorts
It's embarrasing that burgerland has so many guns and so few people shooting at police.
Every time i see some burger typing "Under no pretext..." i press X
