fucking cops, although it doesn't make much sense to seek mindless revenge. First, there should be some organization for retaliation during protests like using the black bloc strategy, i don't know what's the french stance on that.

The guy who was hit has just a broken vertebrae and skinburn, which is quite better than a tetraplagitc state, fortunately.
When it comes to black bloc strategies in France, there's a "black bloc" in front of every parade. It's called the autonomous parade, i.e non-unionized people, independents etc.
Most of them are dressed in black and face the cops and break capitalist symbols, like banks and publicity. But on the last strike, an idiot broke purposely a few windows of a children hospital, probably a cop in disguise.
Of course the prime minister said that the CGT (the biggest workers union) was responsible all of this violence and "assault" on children.
The CGT replied by saying that they had nothing to do with the people in black breaking stuff. Most of the people from the CGT now went on full dumb conspirationism saying that everyone at the front of the parade are cops in disguise or antifas paid by the government to break things and destabilise and un-legitimate the movement.
Rather than saying that it was few idiots who did it for X reason, and keeping the solidarity with the autonomous cortege, they went full defensive with stupid arguments like "duh, the cops do nothing against people dressed in black" but the guy wounded in the neck and another wounded in the head were part of those people dressed in black.
Once again, the CGT and the state go hand in hand to spit their shit on anarchists, while it is thanks to the front bloc that the parade could advance and avoiding harm by the cops.
I'm getting really pissed by both of them.
