You watch too much TV!
TV week placed, in any case seen from my sofa, at home, under the sign of violence as my weekly views will attest to the floods of info distilled in series, docs and other categories supposed to entertain us as much as inform us.
Fallen to begin with, on Arte (which I hardly left for this batch) on the report « In the name of keeping order » directed in two parts by Paul Moreira, two years ago or already pointed, recurrent, this alarming globalized phenomenon that is the over-equipped police in the face of demonstrators who have found nothing better, against their will than to draw instant laptops to record everything and instantly stream galore on the networks. The war of images? It has been raging since armored vehicles were deployed in Paris in front of the rioters and their yellow vests, proof that in the face of the crisis, the cops are militarizing.
It’s one thing to know it and it’s another to see it, especially in this film shot for three years in immersion in the heart of events. more and more violent and here supported by police arguments, specialty “ rioters “, clearly reflecting the strategic desire to see civil liberties decline… In France and also in the United States, Germany or Chile, the weapon of crowd control, everywhere, is the rubber bullet gun, which badly maims the demonstrators.
Witnesses or survivors there are plenty of videos and it is surely the most edifying aspect of this observation which is really not funny and is rather cold in the back… not obliged to rush since the replay is worth until September 22. Challenging. But unavoidable…
