The Irish perspective on police violence (lemmy.ml)

In Ireland we used to have a violent police force. They often killed people. They were kind to the majority and abusive to the minority. They protected the government, not the people. It was just like France.

The people protested, for many years. They forced the government to disband the police. In 2001, a new peaceful police was created.

It worked very well. Today, Ireland is peaceful.

Change is possible.

It's not a problem of media. Left forces need to stop bitching and fighting eachother and start to organise a true front against fascism.

It's definitely both, the left in France is in shambles from petty infighting and refusal to compromise with each other.

My point of view :

the true left forces are called extremes.
