A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.
The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.
Almost melted my skin off picking up tear gas at Occupy Oakland. There were flash bangs. I hadn’t even considered what if I didn’t realize what I was grabbing.
Edit: same night I watch a decorated military officer in full regalia get shot point blank with non lethal shotgun. Right near the center of his chest iirc
Oh yeah Occupy NYC is how I know what it’s like to get pepper sprayed. I was in a crowd they were trying to kettle and a sergeant just let loose on the whole group around me.
I felt so optimistic during the Occupy protests. For a second it felt like we were going to make meaningful change.
please read the book If We Burn.
We need to learn from Occupy and why it failed, so the next time (which is likely coming soon) it won’t.
God damn, me too. In my lifetime, that was the movement that resonated with me the most. They beat the shit out of those people.
They seized power by violent means and they aren’t going to cede power peacefully.
That’s why they’re supposed to call it “less lethal” now. It gives them a loophole
Based cop moment
