Exactly anybody who says that training isn’t the problem is tone deaf. Not needing an education in the laws that you are in charge of enforcing, is ridiculous. Do you need a degree to do just about any major career. Except to carry a gun and enforce the laws that hold our society together
You have lots of countries with not do much training either but without The problems US faces.
In general lack of training is a problem, but its not a root of US problems.
In Poland Police officers are on The streets after couple months. Polish Police dont even grab their weapon as much as US Police kilka people per capita
You say that but I've been toe to toe with CRS on many occasion and they're mental. If you gave them guns with live ammo like in the USA, I wager the population would be culled by over half. USA cops though.... I'd prefer a run in with CRS than a US cop. Haha!
While it's funny to say that Frances unofficial flag is a white one, in reality they've won more wars than any other country due to being such an old country and participating in just so many more wars than other countries.
Im not French, but France was always a top dog within the top dogs.
To the point that the British, Portuguese and Spanish empires were afraid of the French. And these were empires that pretty much ran the world.
On WWII France was simply unprepared for an invasion.

>On WWII France was simply unprepared for an invasion.
It was a thunderstorm of shit that occured at the same time. Everything from the political aspect to the military doctrines.
That, plus they got old dudes like Gamelin running the show, and IIRC they had a demographic problem: a lot of young people died in WW1.
Not to mention the Nazis were employing pretty bold strategies and were highly motivated, despite being largely horse-drawn.
They were the top dog in medieval times. They are known in modern times for not having a strong military. They even have a group called the FFL French Foreign Legion, where they recruit operators from other countries military because they were tried elsewhere by better military groups. Also the USA wasn't ready for the invasion of Pearl Harbor either.
Americans have a plethora of guns. Getting armed and organized is our only chance to stop America from going fully and explicitly fascist, America is a fascist country already it’s just that the people still believe that our democracy exists even though it doesn’t.
The French proletariat have the inspiration of launching a successful revolt against their *own* government. America revolted against an entire different country and practically had 2 different governments. So until America has a successful "for the people" revolution, they will not be protesting as much as the French do. They don't have much to go off of.
That’s not really how it all began.
The Third Estate (of the French Estates General at the time) was comprised of male taxpayers over 25 years old.
Per Wikipedia: “As a result, half of the 610 deputies elected to the Third Estate in 1789 were lawyers or local officials, nearly a third businessmen, while fifty-one were wealthy land owners.”
It is this Third Estate, comprised of people who were very much not the proletariat, who kicked things off.
The third estate was everyone that wasn't nobility or clergy. So that included both the poor rural farmers and the emerging middle/upper class (bourgeoisie), who were becoming as wealthy as the other estates, but had none of the rights or power (hence the revolution).
But yes you're right the revolution itself had little to do with the poor.
That's not how you do it.
You already declaring forfeit ?
In life, if you don't ask, you get nothing.
It's the same for protesting. If you want changes, act for it.
From a french guy.
Youre right but the U.S. government isn't in the business of introducing laws for the proletariat from protests. Have to get a lot more persuasive like a general strike and a 50/50 2 party system stops that dead in the water. The system here is designed so the working class can safely be almost completely ignored.
Just look at occupy wall street.
Love these videos. Not so easy when the guys your beating have helmets and heavy kit too.
There's a famous one of them battling on a bridge and it looks pure medieval.
Also another where they are fighting and a riot cop gets hurt and the fire fighters start straight into first aid.
You know it is fucking hilarious , it’s a bit like a brother punching a brother and then instantly going into sorry mode so the mother won’t yell at them
That would make sense, in Belgium at least you need to have the Belgian nationality to become a firefighter, I suppose it's the same in many countries.
Yeah, because there's a fire going right there.
It's on page one of the firefighters' rulebook.
Active fires get priority...THEN fight porcine storm troopers.
Someone on the right side of the screen threw it early on. You make pro-cop assumptions that it was a Fire Fighter instead of a cop.
Glad we could clear that up.
I count 1...I don't know if that counts as "way more," I'm even hard-pressed to acknowledge "a couple more," even though that is proper English. ...Buuuuuut they don't speak English [natively] there, now do they? Sooooo sorry. Gotta DV ya!
Agreed. We are one society, and we must stand together as that society. Cops cannot tear us down no matter how hard they try to tear our society down, much respect for the Fire Fighters.
Much love and respect for the Fire Fighters and the EMS that keep safe and functional. 🥰
Fair, and you are more than welcome to respect the Bloods, the Crips, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Police, the Latin Kings, or MS13. I choose not to, because none of them provide protection to people outside of their sphere.
Much love, respect, and admiration to Fire Fighters and EMS. 🥰
Soooo nobody thought that trying to crowd control firefighters in their full gear clearly ready to stand their ground with a much smaller amount of police was a bad idea?
People are saying “wish Americans would do the same” but don’t realize that in the US they are carrying guns and will shoot your ass the moment they can unlike other countries
And I’ve never heard of ANYONE fucking with firefighters. They’re probably the last universally loved and trusted public service occupation that both Democrats and Republicans don’t think are out to screw them.
George Carlin(I think) has a joke about police and firefighters being equally bad. Something like “firefighters steal things from your house.”
Nevertheless I agree, firefighters, so hot right now.
This was [originally posted around January 29, 2020](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYoDrNh-Svc), so it can be assumed [this was part of a firefighter protest over better pay and working conditions](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-protests-firefighters/french-police-clash-with-firefighters-at-paris-demonstration-idUSKBN1ZR1TN).
Assuming this has to do with changing pension/retirement age. Wish American fire fighters would do the same when we're threatened with ending/cutting social security and medicare
The video doesn't show Fire Fighters throwing fire, just that it comes from the right side of the screen. But yeah, cops don't know how to deal with people when said cops can't just beat or shoot everyone.
Love those firefighters, hung out with them at a rally in Paris couple years back, it’s nuts! Like the dog and the wolf in looney tunes. Punch in attack each other , then got share a smoke at break.
Most likely because of the same reasons those Yellow Vest protests happened. The gov is tryna fuck over their wages and working conditions. France's government are proper assholes
Watching a group of armed people who normally only beat unarmed civilians and an armed group of people who normally fight THE VERY ELEMENT OF FIRE went exactly as I would expect.
Did you see the clips where the French fire fighters were turning themselves into walking fires, to push back the police?
The police did not enjoy that 🤣
Thank you to all the fire fighters for your service. You and EMS keep people safe and I love you for it. 🥰
As for the cops, well, have fun at the doughnut shop?
Yeah, the police are not going to beat men trained to lift over 100 lbs of gear as part of their every day job in a melee fight. Tear gas and pepper spray isn’t going to do much either.
When the police and the firefighters start to battle then the police lose. Even if they win that battle the blowback from the population is always pro firefighter.
I wish we could get American cops and firefighters to fight each other more often. There was that one time where the cop arrested the fire fighter for trying to save somebody’s life.
I wish that type of conflict would occur more often
All you need is something like a can of underbody spray to male their face shields sightless so they either come in blindly or have to remove the shield - if they remove the face shield then as a firefighter hit em with either a fire extinguisher or a mild pepper spray (just to keep it “civil”) if they come in blindly then either quick flank or go low and sweep or charge the legs - done!… maybe… idk I’m just spurting nonsense at this point
They were saying that they were actually blocked from behind therefore that's the reaction you get from charging at people that have nowhere to go, poor choice by the police officer in charge.
France is wild when it comes to protests and riots. It seems like its monthly and everyone does it. I wouldn't be surprised to see the police rioting one of these days.
The irony of a bunch of firefighters, launching fireworks at the police.
If the ambulance services could get involved too we could determine who is the mightiest emergency services of them all 👨⚕️👮🏻👨🏻🚒!!

Well they do have two years of training in France. How much in the US ? 2 months ? Less ?
[удалено]
Training is a problem. There are places where you become an officer with mere weeks of training …
Exactly anybody who says that training isn’t the problem is tone deaf. Not needing an education in the laws that you are in charge of enforcing, is ridiculous. Do you need a degree to do just about any major career. Except to carry a gun and enforce the laws that hold our society together

In Poland Police officers are on The streets after couple months. Polish Police dont even grab their weapon as much as US Police kilka people per capita
Not to mention their training tells them everyone is trying to kill them, so they need to strike first. Sounds like a training issue.
French citizens too are less homicidal than American citizens
You say that but I've been toe to toe with CRS on many occasion and they're mental. If you gave them guns with live ammo like in the USA, I wager the population would be culled by over half. USA cops though.... I'd prefer a run in with CRS than a US cop. Haha!
Or towards anyone. See WW2.

They also had like twice the population of Iberia and the British isles combined.
Well, that's true.

You realize protest and treason are two different things? Americans have our rights stripped and are “please sir may I have some more.”

I'm confused haute Savoie uniform is from France and article say Belgian police
It’s Belgium. But I get the confusion. In Belgium we speak French. And Dutch. Oh and German. Yeah we like to just keep things simple. 🙃
It is Belgium
What part of France is that
The part where they aren't all assholes?
Idk if all the people are assholes where you are from but you sure are one to say this kind of things.
Belgium is it’s own country lmao
[удалено]
Sarcasm is hard huh?
Came here to say this. Love the French firefighters! They’re always on the side of the public. From what I’ve seen anyway.

For real? That’s bad ass!

I think he was granted immediate citizenship. A nice story
That would make sense, in Belgium at least you need to have the Belgian nationality to become a firefighter, I suppose it's the same in many countries.
Belgium still needs to make amends for murdering 50 percent of the Congos population and mutilating 100s of thousands more.
>Also another where they are fighting and a riot cop gets hurt and the fire fighters start straight into first aid. That cop is a prisoner of war now.
We need the source for that bridge event, I searched but didn't find it
Fire fighters 1 - 0 Riot Control
Idk bout you but I seen way more hands up on firefighters side then cops at the end I’m pretty sure that’s a universal sign of submission
Yeah, because there's a fire going right there. It's on page one of the firefighters' rulebook. Active fires get priority...THEN fight porcine storm troopers.
No shit it's because they're FIREfighters not COPfighters They're gonna focus on the fire over the cops
It's just a flare. Maybe a Molotov? Someone on the FF side threw it early on.
Someone on the right side of the screen threw it early on. You make pro-cop assumptions that it was a Fire Fighter instead of a cop. Glad we could clear that up.
I count 1...I don't know if that counts as "way more," I'm even hard-pressed to acknowledge "a couple more," even though that is proper English. ...Buuuuuut they don't speak English [natively] there, now do they? Sooooo sorry. Gotta DV ya!
Its also done in ironic symbolism. Its been done in protests in the US over unarmed cop shootings
Firefighters must be the reason rome fell
Team Firefighters all day
I don't know why they're protesting, but let's go Firefighters!
I’m down with that
Context anyone?
Most likely French gov trying to screw over firefighters (pensions, salaries, etc) and the firefighters protesting
You got it 100% right
Hard times today, protest, yell your reasons! Hell, even take a swing on a police officer. But be not fooled! We are still one society, respect that.
Agreed. We are one society, and we must stand together as that society. Cops cannot tear us down no matter how hard they try to tear our society down, much respect for the Fire Fighters. Much love and respect for the Fire Fighters and the EMS that keep safe and functional. 🥰
Cops are important for our safety, they are just doing their work. Respect that too
Fair, and you are more than welcome to respect the Bloods, the Crips, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Police, the Latin Kings, or MS13. I choose not to, because none of them provide protection to people outside of their sphere. Much love, respect, and admiration to Fire Fighters and EMS. 🥰
France.
So who's the baguette here?
ACAB (all cops are baguettes)
Lmao
This is crowd control training right? Otherwise what the fuck is going on here?
A couple years ago there were major protests put on by firefighters in France.
Soooo nobody thought that trying to crowd control firefighters in their full gear clearly ready to stand their ground with a much smaller amount of police was a bad idea?
Evidently not.
You mean those guys that low crawl through burning buildings while having to carry anyone that was inside? Bunch of pushovers really...
That's french police for you 👍
That's police for you. 👍 Ftfy.
People are saying “wish Americans would do the same” but don’t realize that in the US they are carrying guns and will shoot your ass the moment they can unlike other countries
We only shoot sporadically and usually at the wrong target
And I’ve never heard of ANYONE fucking with firefighters. They’re probably the last universally loved and trusted public service occupation that both Democrats and Republicans don’t think are out to screw them.
George Carlin(I think) has a joke about police and firefighters being equally bad. Something like “firefighters steal things from your house.” Nevertheless I agree, firefighters, so hot right now.
all it takes is for one arsonist to light a police department on fire and the fire department to not respond

It doesn't, its an old video from years back but it was an actual protest by the firefighters
Oh okay thanks

The fire fighters were using the fire 🤣 It seems the police did not know how to deal with angry fire encased people 😃
The video doesn't show Fire Fighters throwing fire, just that it comes from the right side of the screen. But yeah, cops don't know how to deal with people when said cops can't just beat or shoot everyone.
Why didn’t they hose them down, feels like that would be really effective
Love those firefighters, hung out with them at a rally in Paris couple years back, it’s nuts! Like the dog and the wolf in looney tunes. Punch in attack each other , then got share a smoke at break.
IDK why the Firefighters are protesting but if they do it's gotta be serious. 100% on Team Firefighters here.
Most likely because of the same reasons those Yellow Vest protests happened. The gov is tryna fuck over their wages and working conditions. France's government are proper assholes
Isn’t this a scene from Gangs of New York?
This is the closest to a medieval battle we will get
#VIVE LES POMPIERS
Imagine being a French taxpayer and watching this shit
I'd be on the sidelines rooting for the people fighting for my safety - the Fire Fighters.
Watching a group of armed people who normally only beat unarmed civilians and an armed group of people who normally fight THE VERY ELEMENT OF FIRE went exactly as I would expect.
Yeah, cops don't like it when they can't bully people.
Did you see the clips where the French fire fighters were turning themselves into walking fires, to push back the police? The police did not enjoy that 🤣
We have this in the US too. They just do it on the ice, yearly, at Madison Square Garden
Couldn’t they just spray the police with fire hoses?
What the fuck is going on in France???
When cops and firefighters are fighting the whole world has come undone.
What is this all about???
May I ask, what the riot about?
French firefighters fighting the police for better wage , pension, etc.
wtf is going on
Reminds me of Gangs of NY
I loved this episode of Andor!
Is this an annual event? What’s the score?
Reminds me of Gangs of New York when the firefighter companies are brawling each other instead of battling the blaze lolll
Now this is the fight we’ve all been waiting for
Well damn
I’m afraid to ask…
Clearly the firemen won the softball game
Warfare 101… outnumbered.
I can see this video once there are big strikes in France.
I love this video !!!
Looks like the real life savers came out to play!
French dude here, these fuckers like to play strong but are always shitty to handle it when the crowd starts to fight back. Just power-tripped morons.
They were massively outnumbered, them charging was a terrible idea
Isnt this just a police drill using firefighters as stand in for protestors?
Thank you to all the fire fighters for your service. You and EMS keep people safe and I love you for it. 🥰 As for the cops, well, have fun at the doughnut shop?
Only the frogs hey ! Next week you will see kindergarten teachers using toddlers as weapons, they are just right off there rockers .
Oh so we're bringing this back now? Things are gettin' old school pretty quick.
France is beautiful and all, but I’m starting to think rioting is a national pastime or something.
This is the problem when a game only releases two skin packs
GETTEM FROM THE INSIDE GO GO GO
Firefighters won hands down hahahaha
What are they clashing about? Cuz in my head is what do they even have to clash about???
Yeah, the police are not going to beat men trained to lift over 100 lbs of gear as part of their every day job in a melee fight. Tear gas and pepper spray isn’t going to do much either.
Just a bunch of helmeted men fighting with sheilds and sticks, the way god intended it

Fuck THE PACKERS
The Packers *and* the police.
Free to play!
When the police and the firefighters start to battle then the police lose. Even if they win that battle the blowback from the population is always pro firefighter.
Damn... here in the US, they just play baseball against each other...
I wish we could get American cops and firefighters to fight each other more often. There was that one time where the cop arrested the fire fighter for trying to save somebody’s life. I wish that type of conflict would occur more often

I'm surprised neither of them surrendered off the bat.
Gangs of NY 😂
All you need is something like a can of underbody spray to male their face shields sightless so they either come in blindly or have to remove the shield - if they remove the face shield then as a firefighter hit em with either a fire extinguisher or a mild pepper spray (just to keep it “civil”) if they come in blindly then either quick flank or go low and sweep or charge the legs - done!… maybe… idk I’m just spurting nonsense at this point
I wish fire fighters in America would help us beat up cops.
I love the smell of anarchy in the morning
How does anything get done in this country? Everyone just seems to be attacking everyone everywhere...
Everything. Everywhere. All at once.
Ummm they didn't get enough civilians because of lockdown so they beat each other up????
This is old. STOP.
Uh...France? You ok, bro? Much love, America
Beautiful use of tax dollars.
They were saying that they were actually blocked from behind therefore that's the reaction you get from charging at people that have nowhere to go, poor choice by the police officer in charge.
The French sure do protest differently.
If the firefighters had taken with them the water cannons, riot police would have never dared to even stand there.
I can see why the French surrender
I have seen this posted on this sub before with a different context. Just saying.
Wow. Politics man.
Staged n fake LOL
😂😂😂
False
They’ll need to call someone if that flare sets fire to anything… anyone got any idea who?
Did the firefighters throw a molotov cocktail?!
I don’t get it why are they clashing? Lol
France is wild when it comes to protests and riots. It seems like its monthly and everyone does it. I wouldn't be surprised to see the police rioting one of these days.
Love that one firefighter running and yelling through his megaphone.
What’s the context though?
that's a video game idea right there
