    Students have started protesting poor conditions in public schools, such as lack of insulation causing horrible cold and heat, presence of rats, etc. When the kids started protesting they were attacked by cops. Things like rubber bullets knocking out teeth and breaking bones and stun grenades causing burns and even blowing off a teen’s hand.

    The cops are also allegedly ranting about how they’re looking forward to putting the kids in their place, as pigs are wont to do.

    Naturally, reasonable people (particularly parents) don’t like when kids are being maimed for peacefully protesting. This led to adultsjoining the protest to protect kids and the police kept escalating until the whole thing turned into a riot.

      Yeah the French riot like they always do and the immigrants loot and destroy stores, smash ambulance and fire trucks, and then turn on other civilians

      The police step up the response, clash with rioters, and the vigorous cycle continues

        I really shouldnt respond to your obvious falsehoods but there certainly are looters but to pick immigrants out as the looters when it is likely every kind of opportunistic criminal and not specifically from any one group.

        The police seem more than happy to smash any protest then escalate instead of the obvious, which is to negotiate and solve issues but since that doesn’t help the rich it won’t be happening.
