The video begins with the case of a 15-year-old high school student who lost a hand and other serious injuries during student mobilizations. The creator and a representative from Amnesty International France denounce the use of weapons such as the GL06 LBD, classified as "war material," and various explosive grenades. The speaker claims that the French police arsenal is exceptionally diverse in Europe and that certain weapons, such as encirclement grenades, are potentially mutilating. She argues that the State prioritizes a repressive approach over a de-escalation strategy. According to her, the systematic use of force and tear gas, particularly during "kettling," has a massive deterrent effect on the right to protest.
