Real issue is not the « nights of violence » but the fact that police still kill without beeing more in troubles.
« Nights of violence » and « Attack against democracy » is the narrative the government and (some) media stick to, because they can't lose face. We've been calling it out for a long, long time now, both in France and in the rest of the world. Situation in France escalated dramatically since 2016 and the law « El Khomri » relative to work rights, but (unfortunately) even quicker since Macron became President, as he will not consider people's voice.
In 2017, a law was relative to firearms passed the Parliament, giving police officers more latitude as to when they are allowed to use them.
Seems to be a problem everywhere sigh
Insane. Difficult to imagine these things happening in France. Well, maybe not so difficult now that I think about it.
This has been brewing for decades by now. Doesn't surprise me one bit.
I don't like Macron. I think he could be worse, but I don't like him anyway.
Storming prisons is a fine French tradition.
Wasn't he at an Elton John concert or something last night? This guy is the living definition of French aristocracy
Remember when he was first elected and announced he was going to be a "jupiterian" president?
I'm going to france next week... Should be fun
Make sure to pack some riot gear
