A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.

The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.

    I think you should try and learn a bit more about history. Because what the nazis did was a lot worse than throwing a stun grenade at kids.

      You could learn from history too. Our police statuses never changed from their creation, they are inherited from Vichy’s police. So it’s kinda a nazi thing, yeah. 😐

      The Nazi in this context is fascism, not nationalism. When government and corporate interests are indistinguishable, that’s fascism. Cops uphold corporate/government interests. Cops do not uphold rights of citizens, nor do they protect them. Thus cops are Nazis.
