to be fair france isn't new to taking political prisoners, usually its only those pesky regionalists

https://france3-regions.francetvinf...es-1505517.html

(the minister in charge of corsica mistakenly said "political prisoners" when talking about Corsican separatist prisoners, an expression which is generally used by separatists and not by the French state).

Guess there's going to be more political prisoners soon.

A government shouldn't have to occupy its own country with troops. If there wasn't organized oppression, there wouldn't be organised resistance, and what you call terrorism would not exist. You can lock me up, but you can't lock up the truth.

seems the french government's opinion is that the police arent violent enough

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/18/french-pm-removes-police-chief-and-vows-to-shut-down-rioters

quote:

A junior interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, said on French radio on Monday that the police had been “less aggressive, less reactive than usual” over the weekend and promised a review of the instructions given to officers and their deployment.

Philippe said: “Inappropriate orders were given to reduce the use of LBD [rubber bullet launchers].” He said he wanted a hardening of France’s “doctrine” of law and order, and special police squads would be deployed as anti-riot units.

Escalate 100%. Note that public opinion has been prepared for this though, every week it’s a “miracle” that nobody got killed, and our police forces are “too soft”. So at least even if a protester dies and it mobilizes more people to join in, the president’s image won’t be too tarnished because “it was bound to happen” and “they got what was coming to them”.

if you want some good feels, here are facebook posts from gilets jaunes groups praising the black blocks (french antifa) as allies during protests.

https://twitter.com/naklabic/status/1108259107528720385

"at first I was against them... but when I saw how the state acts against peaceful GJ, I changed my mind about the Black Blocks

"I see them defend old people from cops' truncheons ... In my opinion they are defenders of the people against repression"

"They've even been applauded when they showed up. Real allies against police brutality"

"the black block are like us against capitalism. they act differently but they protect citizens. To them I say THANK YOU."
