Classic French police

Love the French proclivity to striking, kinda sucks their police are so terrible.

Those two things are probably feeding off of each other

That's a good point, guess I meant more that if the police weren't so bad the protests would be more effective and less violent. Probably, I don't know for sure, just spitballing

Police have nothing but contempt for the people, always helpful when they remind us I guess

Are these the big police unions in France? Or are these some fringe nutjob unions?

"Alliance Police Nationale" is one of the biggest police union and is right-wing.

Every police union is a nutjob union.
