A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.

The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.

        I think you should try and learn a bit more about history. Because what the nazis did was a lot worse than throwing a stun grenade at kids.

          The Nazi in this context is fascism, not nationalism. When government and corporate interests are indistinguishable, that’s fascism. Cops uphold corporate/government interests. Cops do not uphold rights of citizens, nor do they protect them. Thus cops are Nazis.

            Comparing the party which tried to exterminate a race with the cop giving you a ticket because you speed up and saying they are both equally bad is a bit of a stretch. Of course some (too many) cops do some atrocities today, but it’s nothing compared to what the SS did. I don’t really disagree with your arguments, but they only holds for a fascist state. And the assumption that all states in the world are fascist is a difficult one to defend.

        Yeah police don’t prevent none of this. They don’t prevent being robbed and if you’re not rich their investigation don’t turned out great, they don’t prevent women being raped and most of the time their investigation only make the victim relive their trauma and let the perpetrators go free. So yeah great example you got here

        How many times have you avoided getting robbed, raped or killed due to police presence?
