      So therefore the community rallied around and pelted rocks while the fire-fighters set themselves on fire and charged headlong at them? Because the French know how to treat the cops.

          Yes, and they go pretty hard at it, and do you know whose side the gendarmes are on when people strike? There’s a reason workers’ unions don’t have solidarity with cops’ unions.

          Frankly it’s pretty ballsy for French cops to protest anything given they rely on the protection of the state against the people who hate them. I guess they think all the tourists will dampen the chances of an uprising, so they’re using them as cover.
