A ce jour, Bastamag compte 746 décès à la suite d’une intervention des forces de l’ordre depuis 44 ans. Soit une moyenne de 17 décès par an. Sur les cinq dernières années, le média compte 28 décès en 2020, 2019, et 2018 ; 36 en 2017 et 24 en 2016.

in France, 746 deaths by police, including car accidents, in the span of 44 years.

For information so far in the USA and for the year 2023 the police have killed 527 people. So roughly by the end of the year the US police will have killed more than the French police in 44 years. I let you adjust by population etc...

France is not the USA.

Do not project the American problems into Europe.

Yes the propaganda machine is in force. Realizing that, this kid must not really be dead, right? After all, the cops aren’t bastards and would not hold a gun point blank to a drivers face and then shoot, right?

No, "the cops aren't bastards". That's my only point, I made no other, specially about the events, only the claim about the cops made by tenet, an anarchist probably. For the rest about how things happened it's up to the justice to do the job.

France is not the USA and no, all cops are not bad. It's not the first time that we see people trying to import foreign problems into Europe, it's probably not the last...

You don't have the excuse of "reddit is an american" site anymore. Think global, it's not always about the USA.
