In Ireland we used to have a violent police force. They often killed people. They were kind to the majority and abusive to the minority. They protected the government, not the people. It was just like France.

The people protested, for many years. They forced the government to disband the police. In 2001, a new peaceful police was created.

It worked very well. Today, Ireland is peaceful.

Change is possible.

Yes you are right. In southern Ireland the same thing happened, but in 1921, and in very different circumstances.
