This is what "news" outlets mean when they say protesters "clashed" with the police. It means police beat the fuck out of peaceful protesters. Every time.
police started throwing tear gas bombs as well, no information on where or how we could get out, no signal on our phones, most ppl (again many of them only TEENAGERS) were panicking and looking for an exit, police knew what they were doing and it wasn't "preserving the peace"
I was at the protest in Paris yesterday, when we got to the place where it ended police blocked all exits and told us to go to the right if we wanted to leave, when we did we were met by another group of policemen charging TOWARDS us in full anti-riot gear

This has to be the video of the year. Bally Bagayoko who is the mayor of French city Saint-Denis shouts at police to “Stop!” and protects the student protesters.
@Xlikescats the police has been beating up and arresting teenagers, one of them has LOST HIS EYE after being shot by a policeman but what ppl find worth criticising is the fact that teenagers are protesting instead of going to class
Students have been leading weeks-long protests across France, particularly in Paris, calling on the government to improve learning conditions, citing issues such as staff shortages and overcrowded classrooms.
Police have arrested more than 6,000 people, with reports of students being seriously injured, including a 15-year-old boy that had his hand blown off when a police stun grenade exploded during a protest in Lens.
