    Every time our National Assembly descends into madness, which seems to be every time our politicians gather there, we are left to shake our heads and wonder what the rest of the world must think as they watch on wide-eyed.

    Then you see footage like this, and it makes you realise that people are angry in every corner of the globe.

    This footage comes from Paris, where police were actually protesting ‘to denounce the hatred and violence they say has been repeatedly directed at them during protests against the government’s labor [sic] reforms’.

    Looks like that backfired spectacularly then…

    Over to the Daily Mail:

    Four men have reportedly been taken into custody on Thursday after the assault on the officers sitting inside their patrol car.

    They each face attempted murder charges after a Molotov Cocktail was thrown into the rear window of the car.

    Michel Cadot, the Paris Police Prefect, said the attack was ‘particularly shocking’, confirming four men aged between 19 and 22 had been arrested.

    It was shortly after midday that activists torched the car by the Canal St Martin, before leaving a cardboard sign in front of it reading ‘roast chickens’.

    ‘Chickens’ is used as a slang word for police in France.

    That torching of the vehicle did little to elicit sympathy, and clashes continued throughout the day:

    A few hundred officers gathered on the Place de la Republique in Paris, after which several hundred counter-demonstrators came by, chanting slogans like ‘Everybody hates the police!’ and pushing up against the officers until eventually the police deployed pepper spray to disperse the crowd.

    Vive le Revolution.
