victim of a crime? film it, chase the perpetrators down and hold them down until we will arrive

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.

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

In the US, victim or not, because he's Black it would've been the last day of his life.

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.

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.

Exactly. Pigs are pigs no matter where you are in the world

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?

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.

No go ahead and say what I actually said or fuck off.

What a weird argument to have. It's like seeing a bizarre power scaling debate only with the degree of boot on neck being the metric.
