about the French police being violent are the French police. I'm merely curious as to why this is: not so much why the French police are violent (because, as has been noted elsewhere, all police are violent), but rather why the French police feel they can be so amazingly unapologetic about their violence. British police will certainly exercise excessive force (especially, though not exclusively, toward non-white people), but they will at least have the decency to lie about it, to cover it up, and to perjure themselves if questioned. The British police at least act like they're a little ashamed about bludgeoning protesters and bullying members of the public. Though of course this doesn't stop them if they think they can get away with it unnoticed. The French police seem to need none of this mendacity and subterfuge. I find it rather fascinating. They have a child-like innocence in their brutality. It's like they're civil servants armed with tear-gas and rubber bullets instead of staplers. There's something rather Eichmann-in-Jerusalem about it all. |
