No shit. Police exist to serve the state and control its citizens. They themselves like to claim they serve the public but they always end up abusing the powers granted to them. Police everywhere love to beat up protesters, especially if they are left-wing protesters.

I was reminded recently that the french police motto isn't "Protect and Serve", this is the US police motto.

In France the motto is "Law and Order". Quite not the same approach.

Also I'm surprised an US newspaper is shocked by France beating communists, usually they'd be congratulating France for that. :s
