Footage widely shared online shows police using #TearGas against people in the city of #Marseille, in southern #France.

The video is from Saturday evening and shows clashes taking place on #LaCanebière, which is the city's main avenue.

France has been rocked by five nights of unrest after police fatally shot a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent, Nahel, in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.

That's the story we've been mentioning on fediverse for years. We would point people to the fact that #hCaptcha rose to prominence about a year later in 2019.

We find it interesting that hCaptcha was asking people to identify boats, planes, trucks, buses, trains, and #protesters with umbrellas to repel #tearGas.

"During the 2020 George Floyd protests, downtown Portland was downtown was blanketed with #teargas at more than 50 times the level federal regulators consider “immediately dangerous to life or health”. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2023/apr/17/teargas-effect-portland-police-investigation?CMP=share_btn_tw

' Forensic Architecture -- a group that investigates war crimes -- says police in Portland, Oregon used dangerous amounts of tear gas in its response to Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. FA believes the Police Bureau knew of the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration threshold for dangerous exposure, but still allowed officers to deploy and spray much higher amounts. '

This quote is from a different event, but worth calling out. I recommend reading the full story.

//Vasquez said it was especially terrifying to see police teargas reproductive justice protests, given the concerns that exposure can potentially cause abortion or miscarriage, which in some states can lead to criminalization and arrest: “Knowing the aftermath of being teargassed, it’s like watching a car crash you’ve already been through.”//

I hope you are able to click the link and see, read, and hear this article. It’s amazing in impact of what we “know”, but damn, it’s worse than we knew. Tear gas use is out of control in the US by a militarized police. #Teargas

@_L1vY_ I knew a ton of #retirees involved in #democratic and leftist #politics when I was likewise involved there. They even had a direct action #protest group. The famous photo of the #teargas-sed woman in #Seattle with the milk on her face was a member. They were also the ones who put together the #Medicare/#SocialSecurity rally where #BernieSanders got the mic taken away. https://www.psara.org/

This wee bitty, who has dark curly hair and large round brown eyes, is screaming in pain after having been tear gassed by radicalised illegal settlers. Her distress is such that one can see all of her tiny baby teeth. Her sweater is pink and fluffy. A loved one is gently holding her hands to prevent her from rubbing her eyes, which can cause injury after a tear gas attack.

Today in Labor History February 11, 1937: General Motors recognized the United Auto Workers (UAW) following a 44-day sit-down strike in Flint, Michigan, involving 48,000 GM workers. Two months later, company guards beat up UAW leaders at the River Rouge, Michigan plant. On January 11, police armed with guns and tear gas tried to storm the plant. Strikers repeatedly repelled them by throwing hinges, bottles and bolts at them. Fourteen strikers were injured by police gunfire during the strike.
