WARNING, includes graphic video: After this, it might be a while until climate activists try glueing themselves to anything in France.
Activists should do their research before pulling a stunt like that. US and UK police might be soft on disruptive protestors, but there are some police forces you just don’t mess with.

should have been some head kicking involved as heads were at superb level for that.
That would have been graphic if a couple of fingers had remained stuck to the road-
could have been arranged just stop on hand before unzipping
See, there is humor in protests on Climate. How do you protest something that happens naturally in nature? By doing something unnatural it seems.
They were hoping to stick around for a while.
Vive La France!

Or they could take a leaf from the leader of the astroturfing outfit XR, who just pretends to glue herself to things for the photo oppertunity.
In France, police can throw a grenade at you (you = Zineb Redouane), at a window, in your flat, kill you, and say the hospital caused your death, and all is fine, and the shooter isn’t even named.
Police can throw grenades that can cause atrocious injuries at protesters.
So ungluing randos? Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Lol saw that earlier. Whilst the little boy was screaming and rolling around, the girl next to him was calmly picking the glue off her hands
Excellent response to idiots. If only the British police would do the same against the nutters that glue themselves to all manner of things.
Agree. I say give them their day or two in the sun protesting and see how it goes. Wouldn’t take too many examples, especially if the gendarmes ignored simple counter-protests such as falling food, eggs, tomatoes, standard stuff.
I sort of agree and disagree – I think these protestors should be taken off the streets and superglued to the inside of a prison cell. Just sayin’.
Sacre gleu, huuh huuh!
Ever see the movie Jackass? They use superglue all the time and yell but not as dramatic and over the top as that protestor, actor, stand-in, whatever.
But, what about their human rights? (what about them?).
I personally think we should just leave them stuck there, route the traffic around them. Don’t let them have assistance.
No need to route the traffic around them …why would you do that!
Bobo la main !
Remove protestor then apply solvent. Did I get the order right?
Let’s see. Glue yourself to a road and wear a bright orange safety vest so that everyone can see you.
Just came back and watched it again. Does that make me a bad person?
I was briefly acquainted with a guy who’d been one of those French police. He got fired from his job as a waiter in Seattle for being too combative. I liked him, but I didn’t have the same prima donna gene rampant among the Karens. In any case, one big takeaway from a few chats was: “Do not screw around with the gendarmes.” LOL
I think they got treated with kid gloves.
That was AWESOME!!!!!!
Hardly a graphic video requiring a warning.
All I saw was a spoilt child complaining because he had an owie and needed his mother to kiss it better.
To glue ur hand to the road ad then complain when it gets ripped off jus shows the level of retardation in these simpletons u wouldn’t put ur hand on a hot stove would u.
It also highlights the retardation in the policies of other police departments. It’s good to know the French get something right every great once in a while.
May I suggest they glue their private parts next time?
It’s not graphic. It’s over acting.
