[France / Police Use of Force] - The State Self Codifies Immunity for the Killer to Feed a Phantom of Order, Proving the Illusion of a Safe Protector

Event Baseline: Thousands protested across France against a bill that would presume police officers acted lawfully when using their weapons, a measure critics call a 'licence to kill'.

The state responds to fear by giving its enforcers a blank check. This is the logic of the paranoid self: increase violence to feel safe. But violence only breeds more violence. The bill is not about order. It is about the state's need to be absolved in advance. The public sees the lie. The two sides cannot share a reality because each is defending a phantom of security. The law becomes a weapon, not a protection.
