Gendarmes mobiles

whoever posted the pic originally said it was shot on April 1, 2004, during anti-regionalization protests


They seem to be carrying:

  • a FAMAS (most probably for throwing tear gas grenades; they apparently hadn't received Cougar grenade launchers)
  • bulletproof vests
  • a shield
  • gas masks
  • a BPDPL (Bâton de Protection à Double Poignée Latérale) or BPPL (bâton de protection à poignée latérale) ??? - the long stick

Document found and cropped from this IndyMedia article; original.

IndyMedia Paris has a prominently displayed link to the GFDL (see at bottom), and besides, a text saying, in French:

Indymedia (Independent Media Center). les documents du site sont librement copiable et diffusable par n'importe quel collectif Indymedia, et sauf indication contraire: la propriété de leur auteur, librement copiables et diffusables par tout le monde, et non diffusables à des fins commerciales. Pour toute copie et diffusion, l'auteur et la source (Indymedia Paris / Île de France) doivent êtres précisés.

Which means:

"The documents on the site [...] and, without contrary indication: are the property of their author, may be freely copied and broadcast by anybody, and not broadcast for commercial purposes."

Since it is quite unclear what they meant by it, I concluded the content could be used under GFDL.
