  1. Nation belongs to citizens, government is just a representative of citizens to govern the country, every single nation's wealth and resources belong to CITIZENS, FIGHT FOR YOUR FAIR PAY AND YOUR BENEFIT. FOREIGN WORK SHOULD HET OUT FROM OUR NATION.

  2. The US has no pension plan at all

  3. Police stupid ๐Ÿคฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ crazy

  4. What were they chanting?

  5. We poor and over worked have woken up and are no longer going to play the wealthy people's game. We do not have the resources to support a consumer driven economy. We as a world need to rethink our society. Stop destroying our planet in the name of capitalism. We don't need to live the way capitalism has told us we should live.

  6. When it comes to states and rulers, Socrates was asked which is better: a bad democracy or a state ruled by a tyrant.He answered, the judgment by an evil tyrant is better than the ruling by a bad democracy ( because in the second case all people are responsible for bad deeds, instead of one individual committing them…

  7. Nothing disperses a French mob like a few German soldiers. Surely they have some uniforms in a museum.

  8. just like the cops in the US๐Ÿ˜ข

  9. Les franรงais sont courageux, ils manifestent pour dรฉfendre leurs droits, ils ne s'assoient pas comme les russes et pissent de peur pour ne pas se faire arrรชter des lรขches

  10. What nowwww…the money they stole from Haiti wasn't enough

  11. no matter how seemingly "minor" the issue may seem to some (62, 64 who cares) the principle here is important. let bite off a finger, lose the whole arm. let it go once, and you slave off until deathbed before you know it. i think this makes it so violent, sheer outrage amidst feasting and exempt few.

  12. Police get their pension, by beating others trying to get theirs

  13. James 5:1-5 let the rich pay the pensions. You took the money from them ?? And will not give sufficient back, in return. Ecclesiastes 12:13,14

  14. It is never good to see things happen like this because everyone loses …. however the Government makes stupid and bad decisions and the people are tired of it …

  15. Civil unrest is needed to inform government that they are outnumbered and need to listen to the complaints

  16. Sanction France. Regime change in France is needed! The French regime needs to respect the right of the protestors. These protestors are so brave. Keep fighting the corrupt French regime

  17. well they voted for jackasses they get what they voted for

  18. you wont see this in america

  19. This protesting reminded me of back in 2016 when the protesting erupted in Greece on my birthday because they wanted to raise taxes and cut pension funds and its not fair and not right keep fighting working class ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘ŠโœŠ๏ธโœŠ๏ธโœŠ๏ธโœŠ๏ธ

  20. So is Trump and right winged extremist to blame for this too?

  21. These French Wiggers just love to riot don't they?๐Ÿคฃ

  22. Lol. The western media would have been screaming about human rights and civil liberties if these actions by police were in Iran, China and Russia.

    We must all open our eyes to the double standards of the west.

  23. Lazy French people don't want to work beyond the minimum retirement age

  24. From houston: I stand with those protesters.๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

  25. Agapao ! Love one another.. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

  26. So much greed. All over the world itโ€™s happening. The rich stay rich and the poor will starve

  27. Riot control follows the same concepts as herding sheep. You just got the sheep scared and funnel them in an orderly fashion.

  28. Hey americca , still wannna giv up yoour powzpow?
