French authorities ban protest against police violence in Paris - Lemmy.world

French authorities confirmed that a protest against police violence set to take place in Paris on Saturday could not go ahead due to police shortages. NGOs say the ban signals a “more and more repressive” approach from authorities.

People protesting: no problem

People protesting and then certain groups “joining” them and burning cars and breaking windows requires a police presence.

Stop burning shit.

And yeah it won’t stop the protest from happening just because the French authorities banned the protest. Probably a few people will get arrested though.

Ever hear the term “Agent provocateur”?

Yes I have and that was basically the point of my comment.

It isn’t the protestors burning shit it’s other bad actors. But whether it’s the protestors burning stuff or the other bad actors is really irrelevant. Either way stuff is getting damaged so there needs to be a police presence.

Why would they arrest their own undercover agents?
Now that is the dumbest thing I’ve read so far.
The police presence is to arrest (violently) anyone who tries to stop the agents provocateur
