Armed French police ...

A refreshing change from "unarmed English police."

Sounds like a Monty Python skit:

"Hey, you there! Stop!"

again "Pardon me, I said 'Stop!'"

"Are you hard of hearing, sir? I've said "'Stop!', twice now!'

"Great heavens! In what sort of uncivilized world are we living, when an officer of the law yells 'Stop!', and the alleged perpetrator continues running."

"I blame the Russians."
