Of course I would have a law making mandatory, that if the media plays such a tape, they should play the WHOLE tape, and not just cherry-pick the most inflammatory ones, as was the case with Rodney King.

So if im french and see something and maybe video tape it or take pictures of it then I cannot tell you about it or post the pictures or video for you to look at because I might accidently tell you the actual facts as I know them about what happened.
That's just ducky.

Tyranny has officially returned to France. I wonder how long it will be until the return of the Terror and Guillotine?

I don't know about you, but I enjoy watch a Renault being lit up by a jihadist every night.

The other Frenchies can learn something from the mimes,
who know how to remain silent in the face of violence.

So, now one must be a professional journalist. And to be a professional journalist means being certified as such by the State.
So basically, the State now controls the publishing/broadcast media.
Our own McCain and HClinton are reviewing the decision and trying to determine how to write a similar law for the US of A. After all, Hillary has advocated that Internet does need a gatekeeper, and Johnny has advocated clean government over First Amendment rights.

But that I am forbid To tell the secrets of my prison house, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.

"If virtue be the spring of a popular government in times of peace, the spring of that government during a revolution is virtue combined with terror: virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country. … The government in a revolution is the despotism of liberty against tyranny."
Robespierre, 1794

This is to prevent any images of rioting ROPers from being leaked.
