Firefighters clash with cops during a manifestation in Paris (video)

This manifestation happened last november, during which firefighters massively (between 6 and 10 thousand) manifested in the streets of Paris, with a minority of them violently confronting police during two hours.
They claim that the government hasn't held its promises and demand that they get a decent retirement at 55, and accuse the fact that they are working more while being payed less, which is pretty much the problem encountered by most of the workers across the world.
15 policemen were injured, two seriously. 35 firefighters were arrested.

Its pretty impressive watching firefighters fight cops. They whooped the cops' asses actually, they're more organized then the youngsters who were rioting last year.
Phred, don't get all excited, these people aren't extremist muslims who are planning a coup d'etat under the firefighters' disguise...

Interesting video. Firefighters with petrol bombs, think of the irony...

Firefighters deserve a great wage, pension and retirement benefits.
They are the TRUE heros of the world.
Firefighters are better than cops in soooo many ways because these days cops wont toutch a dying person and try to give them help. They just stand and watch and wait for the real first responders, the firefighters.

Agreed that firefighters are today's heroes, they deserve respect and recognition by the people but especially by the State, which hasn't been giving them much of that apparently. One dude said that after being a firefighter for 30 years, he's getting paid only 2,250 euros per month.
Anyways, firefighters in france are part of the military, and for that reason they aren't allowed to go marching in the streets, so I think that's why things got a bit violent

Is that his working salary? Or has he retired? That works out to about 3k USD a month.. really low if he's still working, but not terrible if that's what he's getting for retirement. Not great, but not bad.

"manifestation" is a commonly used for "demonstration" when translating from some European languages...don't know why but it works!
The French are almost as good at the Koreans at rioting.

What a glorious sight, to see uniformed masses turn against their own government.
Eventually you'll see this in the USA too, in the final days before the federal government is overthrown.
I'm not an anarchist but I think that when people employed by the government dare to rise against their government, this in itself is a good thing.
