Quoted: The retirement age was increased to 64. There's no finish line, just moving goal posts. They're training more than just the police. Quoted: The retirement age was increased to 64. There's no finish line, just moving goal posts. Quoted: All riot duty police throughout the UK wear fireproof overalls. They train in a mock town and get set on fire so as to experience it without panicking when it happens for real. They bring in local schoolkids to act as rioters and give them lots of fake bricks made of soft foam to throw. They're training more than just the police. Good point. The kids love it !!!! |

Quoted: Haven’t been keeping up with what’s going on over there. Is the a BLM protest or J6 demonstration? Kicked off with the government raising the retirement age to receive benefits France has a long history of protesting, and Parisians specifically treat it as their national sport. |

Quoted: I understand why they protest, but setting fire to people is no bueno. They aren't people when they are in uniform. They are the enforcement arm of the state. You seem to like to quote history a lot around here but failed to have learned from it. If you put on the uniform of a corrupt government you accept the consequences personally. We have established that fairly well throughout history. Most famously, at Nuremburg. Following orders is no defense. Where the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Where the government fears the people, there is liberty. Or do you really believe that the French government is a right and just organization? If so I have some Nevada waterfront property to sell you. |

Quoted: Another summer of love is incoming. This is spreading to the US soon. Na, it’s May Day over there. Every European city has a party like that on May 1st. In Paris it just culminated with the pension reform and boiled a little bit more than normal. I remember May Day in Berlin in the 80s and 90s, that was always like that. Rocks and pavers from 5 story buildings against water canons and tear gas. Just normal spring day in Europe. |

Quoted: Can you expound on that? How is Gendarmerie different from police? Thanks. Quoted: Quoted: The French still have the Gendarmerie and very broad authority if they choose to use it. How is Gendarmerie different from police? Thanks. Civilian police vs. an arm of the military acting with police authority. |

Quoted: Is this protesting raising the retirement age? They allowed the government to take all kinds of control, now they're pissed when powerful centralized government does powerful centralized government things. IDGAF either way... they're both fighting to get their preferred brand of communism put in place. |
