Shooting / Rioting in Paris

[mexico1970]

Yeah, just the murder of an innocent youth..

You have all the facts?

My observation was correct about the French and riots.

 

[aguero93:20]

The riots happened afterwards btw, unless I missed something?

Nah it's France, there were more than likely riots going on already.

These ones have spread to Belgium apparently too.

Do you?

 

[BigJoe#1]

Yes. What crime? He hasnt done anything yet besides drive away. You seem to have decided he IS a criminal?

But yes lets disagree to agree.

Yes let's agree to disagree.

Driving away was the wrong thing to do and he's paid the price. Support from people like you or none from people like me isn't going to change that. Hopefully people who find themselves in kind of position in the future will think twice.

 

[mexico1970]

Do you?

I didn't make a statement of innocence or guilt you did.

Yes let's agree to disagree.

Support for him? Nah you've imagined something different.

I don't like the precedent that the police can shoot someone for running away. That's dangerous. That's going towards a police state.

He wasn't running, he was in a car a car that he was previously driving dangerously leading up to the incident. A car can be uses as a weapon.

Running away on foot is completely different.

I must admit that I don't get why people would want to riot over something/somebody that has no connection to them whatsoever.

Obviously a full investigation is required and hopefully justice will be done but for people all over the country (and a neighbouring country) to be rioting because someone who they don't know was killed just seems a bit absurd.

Aren't there people who just like a riot, just enjoy smashing shit up and looting?
Like those pension riots, half of them were like 20, forty odd years off retirement, why are they so worked up ?

Yeah but the car wasn't being used a weapon. It was joyriding.

In effect what you're advocating is that anyone in a car that doesn't stop, or drives away, should be shot. Or could be.

Seems wrong to me, and I'm sure that this police officer will be convicted. Which again is a shame because he didn't do it on purpose.

It's panic afaic. Everyone loses.

Anyone know why the police in France carry weapons? Had it always been like that?

Skint and need a new TV or a new pair of runners? Boredom?

Since the terrorist attacks back in 2016 iirc, they then allowed them to carry weapons.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Do they ever stop rioting in Paris?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

And he was such a nice boy. Kind hearted and always running errands for his granny, a pillar of society..

 

[blue cigar]

Clown.

Thanks for your insight, bellend

As someone not from the UK I find it strange your regular officers aren't armed. Most countries police officers are armed. All except these.

• Botswana
• Cook Islands
• Fiji
• Iceland
• Ireland
• Kiribati
• Malawi
• Marshall Islands
• Nauru
• Niue
• Norway
• Samoa
• Solomon Islands
• Tonga
• Tuvalu
• United Kingdom
• Vanuatu

No need to thank me - it isn’t really insight when you’re just stating the obvious.

Most of ours are tbf, they have access to firearms in patrol vehicles.

Ah, just like Norway then, they also all have access to them in their vehicles. Still count's as unarmed on that list since they don't constantly carry them around.
