HAHAHAHA eat shit losers
Yeah… Moments later they’ll start throwing teargass cannisters and bring the water canon. That’ll cause people to begin dispersing, and when they do, those riot police will charge again and then they’ll certainly not retreat.
The local hospital will have a very busy evening.
In France (and in the civilized world at large) there are levels of escalation in policing, here is a great example. The US however as I understand it has two levels: eating donut —> opening fire. For some reason the US is slightly dysfunctional, apparently.
See, that’s why US cops just shoot protesters instead.
I thought it was so they could get some time off with pay before transferring to a new station.
That too! It’s a two-for-one deal
Yeah, because cops may be stupid, but they can still count.
Well, French cops can count.
What do you expect from a language that defines 99 as 4x20+10+9
how many luftballons go by?
In the US, half of those protesters would be dead already
Guns, airpower, and artillery upended many of the classic rules of warfare that were practiced and honed for thousands of years before these technologies arrived. But protest and riot return us to the close quarter melee warfare that defined millenia, and for which there are writings from authoritative experts like Sun Tzu, Alexander, Xenephon, Vegetius, their writings on military strategy including use of archers, cavalry, terrain, complex movement, supply logistics, and tactical intelligence. Modern riots are fascinating in how they echo these historical principles so closely.
“We’ve done nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”
looked like an unorganized charge though. Germany has (unfortunately) laws against demonstrating when police said its go home time. So they just pick individuals and book them for the night. With a few (unlawful) bonks on the head.
Same laws in France.
Obviously the French police have never met a French protester before.
The second amendment is for shooting cops (America only).
That’s a lot of candy ass talk considering what’s going in in the US news currently
Fucking pigs
Because they didn’t hurt anyone and showed restraint?..
No, because they are class traitors
Yeah… I guess. But at least they don’t shoot people for walking wrong
french pigs, i think a stale baguette would suffice in scaring them off.
I mean, they are French police.
Surrender is in their nature. Hell, some of their helmets are white
critically unfunny
edit oh right american boomer got it
I’ll take the downvotes. This would have killed in |1996~ the late second millenium
It is so weird to see anyone from the US try to claim that the French didn’t have the guts to fight fascism.
Perhaps, but only out of ignorance. Not because the French have ever been cowards.
I do not doubt the French people, only the French police who are clearly running away in this situation.
ACAB
In your defense, my (french) mother made pretty much exactly the same joke when she saw this clip on bluesky - something about going back to their paddock like the stereotypical vichy pigs they are.
vichy pigs
Your mom sounds cool
There’s the difference, like our maga red hats are a loud insane minority. Otherwise, we literally wouldn’t exist as a nation without the French providing gold and ships just to give England a “fuck you,” and they have been winning wars since before America was a country.
Honestly think the French hate was/is a psychops.
If you was rich and in power and wanted to maintain control would you really want your people to like the country that is known for killing the rich and powerful?
