France. If you don’t run when the police charge at you, they will retreat.

  See, that’s why US cops just shoot protesters instead.

    I thought it was so they could get some time off with pay before transferring to a new station.

    surprisingly enough, police don’t shoot at armed protestors in the us. but for some reason protesting groups make being unarmed a requirement, and if you show up armed, they other you and work with police to get you removed

  looked like an unorganized charge though. Germany has (unfortunately) laws against demonstrating when police said its go home time. So they just pick individuals and book them for the night. With a few (unlawful) bonks on the head.

    You can try resisting and de-arresting if the crowd is involved, but in my experience demonstration crowds in Germany are just passive, and a few cops can do that comfortably because the rest of the thousands of assistants just stand there and watch.

      We Germans are just pussies super jelly of France where they start burning the whole country when their gouvernment tries to increase the retirment age from 64 to 65 in Germany it’s been 67 for decades without major protests from the population.

  Yeah… Moments later they’ll start throwing teargass cannisters and bring the water canon. That’ll cause people to begin dispersing, and when they do, those riot police will charge again and then they’ll certainly not retreat.

  The local hospital will have a very busy evening.

    In France (and in the civilized world at large) there are levels of escalation in policing, here is a great example. The US however as I understand it has two levels: eating donut —> opening fire. For some reason the US is slightly dysfunctional, apparently.

      This is an element I appreciated of the WatchDogs games. If you escalate methods slowly, the fascist security forces do the same. So if you use baton strikes, they act the same way, and aim for an arrest that won’t kill off your unnamed character. It’s mostly a way to prefer stealth, since that stays nonlethal and silent. But in an emergency if you start shooting, they shoot back.

      There’s also some bits of karma to pre-escalation on their side; 3 guards guarding an entryway is tricky to get through. 3 guards backed up by a giant machine gun turret is actually easier since it’s just a button press.

      No, because they are class traitors

  Guns, airpower, and artillery upended many of the classic rules of warfare that were practiced and honed for thousands of years before these technologies arrived. But protest and riot return us to the close quarter melee warfare that defined millenia, and for which there are writings from authoritative experts like Sun Tzu, Alexander, Xenephon, Vegetius, their writings on military strategy including use of archers, cavalry, terrain, complex movement, supply logistics, and tactical intelligence. Modern riots are fascinating in how they echo these historical principles so closely.

  Obviously the French police have never met a French protester before.
