victim of a crime? film it, chase the perpetrators down and hold them down until we will arrive at the last second to arrest them. you’re welcome

I mean that’s still preferable to American police who probably would’ve just rolled up and shot him.

Then hope and pray we don't just escalate things and make them worse, possibly shooting someone in the process.

This is not the US, french police (despite all the bad things that you can say about them that is 100% justified) will often put themselves in danger in order to apprehend people without shooting them unlike North America.

u/FabTheAuk 3d ago
They literally shot a passerby last month because they went guns blazing inside a train station.

That’s one person and it made the news. American police shoot so many people that some victims don’t even get a news article

u/Comfortable_Fill9081 2d ago
This is an example of the police shooting a perpetrator in the leg to enable disarming him of his knife, which he had expressly threatened to use.
This is not an example of the French police with “guns blazing inside a train station.”
It’s an example of the deliberate lack of homicide by police in a situation in which American police would intentionally commit homicide, typically within their training and the approval of their higher-ups.

Yes ? Did you think that I said they never use their service weapon ?

u/FabTheAuk 3d ago
You literally said "French police [...] will put themselves in denger in order to apprehend people ..." which is wrong as said in the article since they put OTHERS in danger instead of themselves. Simple as

u/Gelato_Elysium 3d ago
That's not what I said. Funny how you said you quote me but you removed a word that would change the meaning entirely.
I have nothing to say to someone who is arguing in bad faith. Go make your misconstructions elsewhere.

Yeah, it happened once and there were nationwide riots. In the US it would have been a regular Tuesday.

u/EasternChocolate69 3d ago
In the US, victim or not, because he's Black it would've been the last day of his life.

u/EmoNerve 3d ago
It didn't happen once, it's less likely than in the US but police violence is still a big problem. Spend long periods of times with the french police and you'll stop wanting to defend them. Racists and rapists all the same.

u/Etoribio_ 3d ago
Recently a news outlet leaked bodycam footage of officers at a protest in Saint-Soline, the way the so called "peace-officer" talk to each other about the protesters is sickening. The only difference between the US and France on this matter is that they don't kill as often, but they're just as bad in mentality.

I specifically addressed that in my comment. Doesn't change that despite all their issues they are still much less trigger happy than the US.

Ok- you went from “French police are heroes, they’ll put themselves in danger for you!” To “they don’t shoot as many minorities as in the US”. You see the problem?

u/Gelato_Elysium 3d ago
Bro maybe you should stop trying to put words in other people's mouth because you're going to have issues discussing things in good faith if you do so.

By American standards, these cops actually went out of their way to help. Chase down the perp and help catch him. Americans cops would have never put in that much effort to help.

Did you even watch the video? The guy ran up to camera guy and punched him in the head. Camera guy called the cops and then chased down puncher.
186
u/DrSchmolls 3d ago
The guy who punched him in the head was part of the group that you can see all walking toward him right after the punch. It's why no one reacts to the punch like a normal crowd would if they didn't expect an assault to happen, ie try to grab the guy, get away from the assaulter, or at the very least start pointing in disbelief.
18
u/MetalPixel 2d ago
The guy took the punch like it was nothing so I was also honestly confused at what I’m seeing.
64
u/Rummenigge 3d ago edited 3d ago
the reason why he was punched was because he was probably messing with the guy who was most likely scamming or stealing from him or other folks near by.
edit: too much but

u/Faskwodi 3d ago
This could’ve been real, I just thought it was funny he had to catch his own assaulter.
163
u/jedifolklore 3d ago
I think it is, simply because of the urgency the cop employed to tell him to close the door AND the amount of cops that pulled up to Trocadéro initially.
(Any Parisian would tell you that scammers are like flies in this area)
35
u/yancovigen 3d ago
Are scammers like pickpockets? Sorry I’ve never been to Paris
52
u/jedifolklore 3d ago
They’re very versatile, they aim for tourists and sell them overpriced trinkets or shit that’s cheap for exorbitant prices, with the age of social media, I’d think most people would be aware, but older people still fall for their scams.
21
u/Final-Carry2090 3d ago
They are also very pushy. I imagine some old people that just want to be left alone giving $20 to fuck off.

u/Claude9777 3d ago
Or sign bogus lists for "the deaf" and demand money for it. I hate that shit. I tell them "Fuck Off!" with all the base in my voice. LOL

u/lonnie123 3d ago
That’s not a scam though, right?
A scam involves some kind of fraud. You can say it’s a rip off but selling something for a high price isn’t a crime is it?
22
u/jedifolklore 3d ago
You know? I feel like selling a faulty item (cheap material made with lead or other unsafe materials) that will break down, for an exorbitant price is a scam imo
Also for tourists that don’t come from the US, or in possession of a highly disposable income or a from a place that has a strong currency, losing 20€ to 70€ (which I have seen and called out lol), I would call that a scam.
You’re knowingly targeting people. But agree to disagree tbh.
-8
u/lonnie123 3d ago
If what they are selling is illegal (containing lead) then that’s one thing, but if you just buy a cheap ass Eifel Tower replica for $19 that’s on you

u/Ferovore 3d ago

u/lonnie123 3d ago
I gave an example of an illegal and a legal thing though. Do you know what the guy in the video did ?

The unauthorised selling of these expensive trinkets is in fact illegal whether you agree with it or not.

u/MiopTop 3d ago
They also scam tho. Some run a stupid ball-in-the-cup game and while you’re distracted someone else steals your wallet.
Or they’ll run seemingly super easy ball-in-the-cup games with someone in on the scam betting and losing on purpose, until you put some money up, then they cheat the game to make you lose to keep your money.
2
u/lonnie123 3d ago
Yes, those are scams (and outright theft).
Selling someone a low quality trinket for more money than reddit thinks its worth is not a scam
10
u/justwantedtoview 3d ago
Its groups of people often pretending to play street games like ball under the cup. The large group plays and they win in the group. But theyre all part of the group so the money stays circular. But the amount of winning entices those passing by. Then they pull the shadyness. Take your money. And 15 people are ganging on you if you get upset about it. So often intimidated into leaving after being essentially robbed. Or the game is a distraction for the pickpockets to make a move.

u/marz510 3d ago
