An do thòisich am poileas a h-uile càil san Fhraing ann an 68? Seadh bha grunn oileanaich a’ togail fianais ach an robh a’ phoileas ro chruaidh orra?
Mholainn leabhar ris an canar May ’68 and its Afterlives, air a sgrìobhte le Kristin Ross, gu h-àraidh caibideil 1 ‘ The Police Conception of History.’
Td 28 ‘Police violence in early May brought more and more people onto the streets. But the catalytic role played by the police in creating the mass dimension of the movement began it seems, even before the matraques started to swing. The very presence of large numbers of police, called to Nanterre by a rector, Pierre Grappin who had himself been active in the Resistance, made the collusion between the university and the police visible to a new degree:
The reaction of the students, not only to the action of the police, but to their simple presence…is a visceral reaction, a reflex allergy. Most of the students were apolitical in the beginning, they disapproved of the incidents at Nanterre. But they were instinctually on the side of the March 22nd group…because the police were there and that signified for them an intolerable repression.
td.30: “One day a professor was walking out of a book store where he had bought some books, and he passed by a group of CRS who immediately began to beat [matraquer] him. Their chief must have noticed that the man wasn’t a student but rather someone more respectable, and he ordered his men to stop. One of them yelled out, ‘But chief, he was carrying books!”
