These cops, no. But these aren't riot cops. Riot copsin France are legit monsters. Absolutely horrible.

    Here in Bordeaux they just started gassing the legal movement super heavily, it was 100% peaceful (no shooting stuff or burning or even firecrackers) was moving for only 5 minutes (this is regular stuff, happens often). Old people, handicapped people, parents with strollers. My friend went to them (the riot police) and asked why they started to gas everyone and could they please let them (him) help people out (you get respiratory problems when you're gassed, and people get disoriented, scared etc, people was on the floor, panicked), he got gassed.

    So this seems to be a biig "blunder", I mean if they don't just not give a fuck, which they don't. They don't listen? Well then it's french riot time I guess.

    Before clicking on that link, guess how many people in the US are killed by police each year. Remember, this includes justified/self-defense kills, not just bad shootings. In a large country with an armed populous.

    How does the actual number compare to your guess?
