I& #39;ve once again just seen a French person making a post about French police saying "don& #39;t say French cops are bad, it& #39;s not the American ones", yes of course let& #39;s wait for them to kill and injure more people than they already have to criticize them. That& #39;s so smort, thank you.
Saying that French cops are violent can be quite an hot take here. For instance, last week, the singer & actress @Camelia_Jordana has to face a huge backlash & the Home Secretary + a police federat° threatened of pressing charges against her bc she denounced that violence on TV.
And that& #39;s really fucked up as police violence is omnipresent. But racism is so powerful here that every time there is a police blunder, a lot of (white) people are just saying "yeah but it was probably a criminal" and move on to something else.
And in the meantime, these same people are yelling "presumption of innocence" every time a famous white guy is accused of sexual violence. Such hypocrisy.
I don& #39;t know where I& #39;m going with this thread so I& #39;ll ended it now. To conclude: #BlackLivesMatters everywhere on this fucking planet.
Let me add two links with a lot of ressources oomfs shared today and which I find really useful to get my white ass more educated:
