Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well, this is France after all.
So therefore the community rallied around and pelted rocks while the fire-fighters set themselves on fire and charged headlong at them? Because the French know how to treat the cops.
No. I mean, the French are always going on strike. It's like a national sport.
Yes, and they go pretty hard at it, and do you know whose side the gendarmes are on when people strike? There's a reason workers' unions don't have solidarity with cops' unions.
Frankly it's pretty ballsy for French cops to protest anything given they rely on the protection of the state against the people who hate them. I guess they think all the tourists will dampen the chances of an uprising, so they're using them as cover.
Le pompier est la vous!
Are they gonna kick their own asses for protesting or is the general population allowed to get a few pot shots and tear gas canisters in this time?
Bust some heads firemen!
Aww, does nobody think of the poor cops?
I don't
When are they going to decide to riot, block traffic and light things on fire?
Police don't need to do that to get what they want. The current government knows cops are the only thing keeping them in power. The second the police abandons them, protests will erupt and there will be no one to stop people from raiding the Parliament. It almost happened in 2019 during the Yellow Vests protests.
Guillotine production ramping up
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police in France are holding a “Black Thursday” of work stoppages and demonstrations to demand better pay and conditions during this summer’s Olympic Games.
The move came after one union received details from the interior ministry suggesting that every police officer in France would be mobilised during the two weeks of the Olympics, from 24 July to 11 August, and not be allowed to take holiday in that period.
French police would be allowed a total of 10 days’ holiday leave between 15 June and 15 September, but must otherwise be on duty.
Many regional police expect to be relocated to Paris for the Games and want assurances on housing and working hours.
Sylvain André, from the Alliance police union in Strasbourg, told France Inter: “Today there is still no detail except that 100% of police will be working 24 July to 11 August and we know a local contingent will be moved from Strasbourg to Paris, about 30% of staff.
A source in Darmanin’s entourage told Agence France-Presse that support measures for police would be finalised by the end of this month.
