Well I think France gonna need some more buildings on fire. When will they learn.
we are going through a very authoritarian drift right now. Flashballs used to be exclusively used against terrorists, hostage situations : 19 000 were fired during the yellow jjackets crisis and they're now basic police equipment. Drone usage is increasing, the government bought 90 armored personnel carriers with multiple grenade launchers exclusively for riot control.. and now the phone spying.
edited to add : they're also starting to qualify any protesters as "terrorists". Climate activists planning to disassemble an inanimate, illegally-built, ecocidal infrastructure ? they get the eco-terrorist tag.
Wasn't French intelligence services who did that terrorist attack against the Greenpeace ship way back?
remember teh "super bassine?" 4000 grenade shoot for 3000 person.....
Everybody sing along!

Does it not strike you in the least that actions like this are counterproductive? They provide an excuse the many people will readily accept. Violence is the language of the state and they speak it better than you. They know how to respond to it.
What should we do? Say thank you and bend over?
Mockery. They know how to respond to violence but they do not know how to respond to laughter. Satire is the greatest weapon. When they lose their legitimacy and people just stop complying that is when we win. If you use violence you are just as bad as them.
