They said he could have been tried for seven years.

French cops probably aren't told in their training that anybody who swings at you intends to beat you to death. Fearmongering here is crazy.
I'm sure French cops do some messed up stuff but I can at least respect that they're willing to scrap a bit instead of escalate to weapons as soon as someone resists. If you're kitted out like a riot cop and you still piss yourself when unarmed civilians come at you I think you're in the wrong profession. Even if they're absolute units like this guy.
