A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.
The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.
Have fun being robbed, raped, and killed without police 🙄
Yeah police don’t prevent none of this. They don’t prevent being robbed and if you’re not rich their investigation don’t turned out great, they don’t prevent women being raped and most of the time their investigation only make the victim relive their trauma and let the perpetrators go free. So yeah great example you got here
My home was burgled. The police did not prevent it and did not help afterwards.
The only thing that helped at all was insurance.
Towns who have kicked out police and instituted a democratic system had their crime rate drop massively. See Cherán: “in the last year there have been no murders, kidnaps or disappearances.”

Police is useless for that. It’s basic statistics.
There are other way to bring security and help than police you know. You can be creative and start thinking, it does not hurt. Reducing security to « police = security. No police = nothing in place = chaos » is intellectual laziness at its finest…
That happens already, with cops. And sometimes by cops. Covered up by yet another group of cops.
Homicide is about the only thing that they ever seriously investigate. If you’ve ever been robbed or raped, then you’ll know that they are laughably ineffective at catching and prosecuting the perpetrator, even when presented with evidence.
The very fact that these crimes are still committed speaks to the efficacy of a police deterrent, which is to say, none.
If you feel as if you cannot criticize your law enforcement, then law enforcement will inevitably become more and more corrupt over time. Everyone should scrutinize the fuck out of their local PD and never give them the benefit of the doubt on anything.
Yep, my home was victim to robbery with sexual assault and the best I can say the cops did was ensure he didn’t come back that night for more. They basically asked if we had a camera, then checked if we had drugs, and that was the extent of the investigation. They didn’t notice the cut window screen or footprint under that window.
Ive been robbed a couple times, cops did nothing. Wcyd.
How many times have you avoided getting robbed, raped or killed due to police presence?
A heavily militarized police force enfringes on our contitutional right to assemble and protest.
I guess self-defence isn’t an option then?
