These were illegal immigrants living in a public housing building, and thus they were evicted. They were protesting this eviction.
Exactly what do you expect to happen when you fall limp on a sidewalk when the police to tell you to leave? Of course they’re going to get drug. I’d expect as much if I pulled some of this nonsense, myself.

It is unfortunate that you don't read french, I went to a several french website and it is a different story. It is reported that there were a few illegals but most were legal and the problem was that they were evacuated from the building because the city wanted to build new housing. Their problem was that they were not offered any garantee that the would be relocated thus the protest. You might say that someone should not wait for handouts but in any case the barbaric act that I saw was not justified and if you were treated like this, God forbid, it would have been equally disgusting

I saw the police taking their time trying to untangle these howling people, and I had sympathy for the French cops, not the squatters. I hated to see the kid on the ground, but that was their parents (and this advocacy group's) doing.
Here is a question: what about the group leader filming all of this? He couldn't help the kid? Where is his culpability?
