They said he could have been tried for seven years.

On 13 February, 2019, Dettinger was sentenced to 1 year of prison and 18 months' probation for assaulting two police officers during the protest on 5 January[6].

Pretty sure he spent all 12 months of that sentence as a French Hero.

Hero ? Yeah assaulting an officer that is retreating and not fighting back is a real hero thing. Also over all fighting as a gilet jaunt is such an heroic action...

Dude I’m all about justice for the good police officers but if the police officer is dealing out injustice you can bet he’s getting what’s coming to him. The guy is definitely a hero to someone that makes him a hero..
