The French sure know how to complain.

At least 108 police officers were hurt in clashes with demonstrators who have taken to the streets to continue their protests against President Macron's widely unpopular pension reforms.

Damn that’s pretty bad. No matter what their issue is, barbecuing the police is a tad extreme.

Picture makes it look more dramatic. Fire went out in less than 5s.

I guess being on fire for 5 seconds is all good then :cry:

They need to start clamping down hard on the extremists, it's one thing having a peaceful protest which the majority of the French do, but anything that resorts to vandalism or violence needs jail time.

As in they weren't burning alive thankfully. The fire went out very fast.

They also need to do something about the protestors.

The clip on the news was a bit longer than 5secs and they didn’t get it out before the clip was cut. And they said a number of officers had received serious burns (I can’t remember how many). Vandalising property as part of a “protest “ is one thing, but giving someone potentially life changing injuries for just doing their job is pretty awful :rolleyes:

You didn’t see any videos of how the police have been wading into peaceful Yellow Vest protests with batons flailing over the last few years, did you?

The guy in the middle in the first pic, looks like he’s had a critical failure when casting a fireball spell.

No wonder people are so desperate to escape the country!

If the police had joined the protestors maybe everyone could have retired a bit earlier.

Just another Tuesday in France.

I think the word you're looking for is 'riot'.

And people over here think Just Stop Oil are troublesome protestors.

Not a fan of people on fire but the French, throughout history, have been the top tier protestors.

They seem to have big balls, not like us.

Good way to cast Firaga.

UK: Work till you drop.
France: Pension going up to 62? Burn everything.

Those protestors need heavy cavalry.
