French authorities confirmed that a protest against police violence set to take place in Paris on Saturday could not go ahead due to police shortages. NGOs say the ban signals a “more and more repressive” approach from authorities.
If there’s one thing that has proven to stop protests, it’s laws.
Maybe the cops should try not being violent.
Woah now, let’s not get too crazy with our solutions /s
But the only tool they have is a hammer.
*gun
Oh wait, that’s the U.S.
Well I mean over here too. The protests are about extrajudicial killings of minorities.
Wait, if cops in the US, France, and Germany are bastards, does that mean All Cops Are Bastards?
Let’s not jump conclusions. I’m sure not all cops are bastard, for example dead ones.
Surely this will stop them this time for really real
“You can’t protest agains police violence because we don’t have enough police officers”. I’m sure that will stop them
It almost seems like a trap, they are all but saying “please stop protesting we can’t take it any more”, a protest becomes a coup/revolution if the authorities refuse to concede to the demands and are overwhelmed by the protesters
I wish the French people a very pleasant Sixth Republic
Lmk when they post a guillotine GoFundMe
I left Facebook when any post containing a reference to guillotine got you jail time.
A week later I was like wtf! was I don’t there?!
May the North Africans lead the revolution
So sixth republic when?
People protesting: no problem
People protesting and then certain groups “joining” them and burning cars and breaking windows requires a police presence.
Stop burning shit.
And yeah it won’t stop the protest from happening just because the French authorities banned the protest. Probably a few people will get arrested though.
Ever hear the term “Agent provocateur”?
Yes I have and that was basically the point of my comment.
It isn’t the protestors burning shit it’s other bad actors. But whether it’s the protestors burning stuff or the other bad actors is really irrelevant. Either way stuff is getting damaged so there needs to be a police presence.
Why would they arrest their own undercover agents?
The police presence is to arrest (violently) anyone who tries to stop the agents provocateur.
If you miss the chance you have to set more small businesses on fire.
Now that is the dumbest thing I’ve read so far.
Either way stuff is getting damaged so there needs to be a police presence.
why, what are they going to do, arrest the fire? Shoot at it?
How about arrest the arsonist?
I refer you to @TheGreatFox 's reply.
So we are commanding you not to protest police, also we don’t have enough police to enforce our command.
We know you’re upset with the police but don’t come into our police-free zone. Pretty please.
Longer I think about this the funnier it gets.
Oh boy that’s going to go over well
LOL, clowns.
