You know what, I've finally been convinced that defunding the police is a good idea. After all they are just a bunch of racists right? We don't really need them to protect society, we can replace that outdated model of policing with a "community policing" approach which we see many liberals promoting. I've seen the light, these jackboots really serve no purpose other than to hold down the little guy and minorities.
Isn't it funny how the left hates the police one moment then the next moment they are using the police as their personal army of thugs to strip freedom from people. It's literally the definition of fascism... yet I don't see any Antifa people opposing such heavy handed policing. Because in reality they just do everything their sacred MSM talking heads tell them to do, they are literally pawns of the establishment.

Imagine being exposed to the will of the people.
Those poor, skanky French aristocrats why oh why are the peasants so needy?
10 bucks says the media identifies the protesters as far right.
Vive la revolution!

The upper class is pushing such a strange agenda and the middle class just doesn't see and common sense in it.
And the upper class never give in, so they will fight and push their weird agendas

It's France, that's really just par for the course. They riot over anything and the police crack down on them brutally, and nobody thinks anything else off it.
If you think that this is bad you should have seen them during the 1990s with the British soccer fans. You'd get a group of people standing on the sidelines just watching and then dozen police would storm in with clubs (Actual clubs) and start wailing on them.
I've seen videos of people trying to run away and French cops chasing after them, beating their legs with batons and practically dragging them back into the riots.
Again, shocking for us, but normal for France.

Things must be so weird at the top of the elite.
I bet they live pathetically sad lives.

…But "hundreds of thousands"?
Seriously, it's two thousand, maybe three thousand tops.

Go France, Go Canada.
(I hope Holland kicks off but the hope is possibly misguided. It takes a lot to make the Dutch rowdy.)

If it's all "business as usual" it wouldn't be so silent in the media about these protests. Protests on a global scale and not a word about it on the news.
