Man loses testicle in France pension protest crackdown: lawyer
France24 ^ | January 22, 2023

Paris (AFP) – A French policeman dealt a man with a camera such a strong truncheon blow during pension reform protests this week that he had to have a testicle amputated, the man's lawyer said Sunday.

Images and footage from Thursday's demonstrations circulating online shows a policeman hitting a man on the ground between the legs, and then leaving. The man is seen holding a camera.

Lawyer Lucie Simon said she was filing a complaint on behalf of her client, a 26-year-old Franco-Spanish engineer who was taking pictures of the gathering, for "voluntary violence that led to mutilation by a person vested with public authority".

"It was such a strong blow that he had to have a testicle amputated," she said, adding that the engineer was still in hospital.

"This is not a case of self-defence or necessity. The proof is in the images we have and the fact that he was then not arrested."

The engineer, who lives on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, "is still in shock and keeps asking why" he was wounded, the lawyer added.

Hitler had only one ball,
Göring had two but they were small
Himmler had something sim’lar
And poor old Goebbels had no balls at all.

He should, first, visit ‘LOST AND FOUND’; should that fail,
then it’s time to offer a reward.

..Good, if you are gonna protest you should have to risk something.

otherwise you're just a pu$$y with flag and a big mouth annoying people.

Lets get serious with protesters.

Protests aren't supposed to be a party, a cookout, a loot and run game with zero repercussions.

the chinese dude with a shopping bag standing in front of a tank had more balls that all the blm protesters. he could have died and was willing to do it.

The good thing is that if you get hit/kicked in the nuts and have a cup, the person who did it will figure that he floored you. Then, you can kick THEM in the nuts when they aren’t expecting it, hopefully smashing both of them. That will change a poor attitude almost immediately.

Strong blow? Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?
