There is something to be said on how the French take prisoners

[LiberalArkie]

Even the French pigeons know when to get the hell out of Dodge.




However there is one person that the Police are hiding from view.

1. Why is that person naked? nt.

[linuxman]

2. The piece of shit thought he was going to paradise.

Maybe he heard you don't need clothes there?

[Renew Deal]

3. Guessing

They probably made sure he didn't have a bomb on him

[polly7]

4. Gotcha. Makes sense. nt.

[LiberalArkie]

5. The raid was last night and I guess caught them in bed and did not let them

dress first.

I will bet the rest of them that are still out there will start wearing jammies now.

[polly7]

6. Oh, I see. I didn't realize that.

If I were them I'd be wearing a full outfit plus boots to bed.

[LiberalArkie]

7. One picture I just added, the person atleast had a t-shirt on.

So, I don't think the Police stripped them, unless it was so that the pictures would show them naked to embarrass them.

15. Supposedly the gunfire went on for almost seven hours. One woman blew herself up with an explosives

vest.

The raid targets had heavy armament. I think that anyone coming out would be forced to strip before police would get close, because where there is one explosive belt, there may be more.

I would assume that if someone came out and refused to strip, they would be shot dead. The flics aren't fooling around.

There were individuals in all the neighboring apartments, and thus an acute public risk. One poor lady in the apartment below was hiding as much as she could with what sounds like a detonation hole in her apartment ceiling.

13. Wanted to show his-is asshole

[flamingdem]

8. Whoa, I see

a hiney. Guess the guy wasn't too cooperative or they would have given him a chance to put on pants!

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. Coming from a meeting with the High Sparrow

[Codeine]

16. Now THAT was a perp walk. nt

[COLGATE4]

10. I still remember being in Paris while the 'troubles'

with Algeria were going on. What I saw then clearly demonstrated that it was - and still is - a very bad idea to fuck with the French.

[LiberalArkie]

11. They are a passionate people and that swings both ways doesn't it.

[COLGATE4]

12. Yes, they are. But they have always taken a very draconian

position about terrorism and, unlike others, tend to act a lot more than talk about it.

[hifiguy]

17. Their elite GIGN anti-terrorism force

is assuredly not an organization you want to fuck with. They are police, not military, so they can operate on French soil, and their mandate covers all attacks on French soil OR against French nationals anywhere on the planet.

[COLGATE4]

18. Yep. I saw the GIGN (or their equivalent of some years ago) 'picking up'

Algerians who they suspected of terrorism (or trying to kill DeGaulle). To say that they were not gentle would probably be an understatement.

[hifiguy]

20. Americans always seem to forget that the French fought Nazi Germany

on their own soil. And the French Resistance was astonishingly brave, resourceful and effective in its efforts against German tyranny.

[COLGATE4]

21. Absolutely true. What's also forgotten is the tremendous

shellacking the French Army took by defending the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkerk. Because of their heroic resistance the British were able to evacuate almost all their men. Without the spirited French defense, England would have had a horrendous loss of its trained soldiers.

14. Barely

19. How they got him to cooperate ...

"Take a good look at that officer behind you carrying a taser."
