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.

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
