The guard dogs order us to call for calm. We call for justice. Withdraw the legal action against poor Nahel. Hang the murderous policeman and his accomplice who ordered him to shoot. Leave the paramedic alone.

Do you hear the people sing?

    The public is up with pitchforks and a politician makes a call “Yay pitchforks!”, I think that is the opportunistic part. Anyone can make the same call for some of the juicy free public attention for themselves - and such a remark isn’t good for anything but some camera spotlight.

    Most normal people would opt for an investigation from the justice system with a court and judges to make the calls - not a mob with pitchforks or a politician who wants to hang people before a trial even started.

      Melenchon has always been very openly against police violence and for it’s urgent reform, and everyone in France knows that.
