French cops are the closest Western Europe gets to American-style policing. Don’t fuck with French cops, they will break your legs and get away with it.
Well, that’s why you guys are allowed to bear arms, right? In case the cops and government get all crazy?
Isn’t that the whole reason for the gun thing?
So, go strike. Wait for cops. If they open fire, take them down. Mobilize more people, because the military is next. See what happens. Defend your rights. Don’t just pose around with a shotgun in your truck.
That workers in the US have a lot more reason to be wary about striking. Hell, just look at the way protestors are being treated in Georgia over Cop City.
They should still do it, but also it’s more risky than in Europe.
In the US the cops have a long history of killing striking workers.
Everyone’s semi-annual reminder that the Pinkerton Agency still exists
And has recently worked for WotC.

In France the opposite is true.

The people striking aren’t the unemployed rednecks posing with shotguns in their trucks.
What’s your point?

Also if you lose your job (which is harder to lose in the first place) in the EU, you don’t lose your healthcare.
Plus a bunch of the ass backwards red states have laws against unions, dystopianly named “right to work” laws.
When was the last occurrence of cops getting permission to kill strikers in the US?
Less than 100 years ago. I only tried one search though and found a story about a guy who killed a cop and a utility worker, then gave up.
Edit: Blair mountain was 1921, so that was just over 100 years ago, but I expect there have been others since.
