I won’t argue about the police brutality because it exists, but the problem is deeper than that. When the law can’t stop you from stealing, nothing can!

Stealing techniques are too elaborate these days, literally 10 minutes in the streets is enough for your bike to disappear

Because sanctions are extremely light here in France. On the news recently a Doctor got beaten bloody, and the aggressor walked out free.

In France self defense is frowned upon by authorities sadly.

If they really wanna do Paris a service they should start by dealing with all the pickpockets and bike thief first. My girlfriend has had 4 bikes stolen so far.
