Our US Ambassador to France this morning on Fox News that the French Riot Police are considered the most effective and most brutal in Europe and possibly the world.

How funny! Their military is a bunch of wimps, but when it comes to keeping their own people in line, they've got the most brutal riot police in Europe.

That sounds like Communist behavior. Maybe we're giving them too much credit calling them Socialists.

Don't misunderstand. I am not at all sympathetic with the protestors. They're getting what they asked for/voted for.

"Looks to me like a gang of Muzzies beating on whitey."

I see your point, but still...
Looks like Idiot A kicking Idiot B.

" once saw the Germans use water cannon on demonstrators in Berlin, live from my 4th floor balcony. It was most impressive...especially the guy who got plastered against a wall and was held there by the force of the water. "

In Switzerland they use liquid sludge from the sewer works.

And in Japan.....they have high pressure water guns that fire a slug of about 2 Kg of water at high speed....can also be mixed with pepper mixture for added effect.

Which is why France's economy is in so much trouble and why GM is hemorrhaging, here.

Yep!

I have a good idea for the employers in France. All employers should shut down thir business, go marching, and "flip the bird" to all the protesters.

At first I thought that pic was actually showing the French fighting, I was in shock. It seemed like a fight without their usual method of running away. But then if you look closer you can see none of them are actually hitting the guy on the ground and in fact seem to be buckling to their knees from fear except for that guy with the white sneakers who appears to be not kicking but falling backwards from someone pulling him from behind.

Why would a Frenchman want to police this socialist paradise?

They do have a point on worker treatment, but still bosses have the right to fire lazy workers....
