LINK When policing becomes political: lessons from France’s gilets jaunes
Over 2000 injuries caused by the police, over 100 of them serious. 15 demonstrators and journalists have lost an eye due to the use of “less-than-lethal” bullets.
The brutal suppression of the gilets jaunes movement that has been happening in France over the past 9 months or so would be criticized being totally unacceptable and incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy.
The government and the president have abused their police powers. The police should be protecting the people's right and not brutalising and torturing citizens.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.the crazy thing is that the police (working-class) carry out orders to suppress the working-class.
but most of them are a bunch of short-sighted dummies. they think that they're marginally better off
than the demonstrators so are willing to beat up the demonstrators.
this is why it's so easy for the elites to control the working- class.
it doesn't take many ppl with IQs of 140 to control a bunch of ppl with avg IQs.

Of course … unfortunately it's people of the same condition beating each other up. Those in the French police, who reminded the government that their oath is to the French people and to protect them and their rights, are silenced.
It's also the working class bolting and welding together the weaponry that is ultimately used against them.
Only militarized masses can effectively counter the militarized police!
