And next your going to tell me the gov... has Q files on all of us. Even if the gov... is watching, you have to be guilty of something before they can do anything to you. And if they frame it doesn't matter anyway, since then the gov... would be corrupt. Then you fall back on your secret Swiss bank account and run like the wind. Or you could be Jason Bourne, but then he's talented and has amnesia so he has nothing to lose.

The country barely had it's 60th peaceful independance day and everyone's already planning for it to be the last stronghold against china...

That is from a human rights organization.

From the gendarmerie site:
"Force military and great public utility, the national gendarmerie puts her competence at the service of the safety of the people and the goods on the whole of the own territory and takes part, at the sides of the armies on the external theatres of operations, with missions of maintenance of peace and restoration of the state of right."

See they're the clean up squad and defense of civilians.

I think I'll go join the gendarmerie, the get to ride horses!!!!!!!!!!!

When you set off to join the Gendarmerie make sure you orientate yourself correctly. In particular please remember to stop when you get to Paris, France; do not continue some 1400 miles to Istanbul,Turkey. Wikipedia will of course have explained to you that gendarmerie is a also a generic term and that this style and structure of police force has been copied widely.
You will have seen on the Gendarmerie website that they are responsible for a huge range of normal civil police duties indeed in many parts of the country they are the civil police that you are most likely to see and deal with. They are far from just "the military force responsible for airport security, certain buildings like the ministry ones, and security of certain public buildings like banks."

well... I didn't kno it had to be gendarmerie only in Paris. It was French gendarmerie in Turkey. I still think it's not lawful for them to shoot civilians. They're not the civil police!! And your site is their homepage or something and they're not going to badmouth themselves on their own website.

Rose you are *****, if you do not know where Andorra is, especially *****. Andorra is between France and Spain. Oh for the record, I switched all my savings to a combination of Euros, Gold, and Aussie Dollars since 2002.

I'll second that emotion. No they were not French gendarmes operating in Turkey. And the point was that contrary to what you ever so knowledgeably declared the function of the Gendarmerie in France is not just anti-terrorism and the other things you mentioned. They are very much involved in normal policing. They may be controlled by the Ministry of Defence but despite that they have a huge role in civil policing. That's why I suggested you go back to wiki: most of that was plainly there! As for this imaginary law.....

right... i don't even remember why i started on French police. I was thinking about Karl Rove and then somehow I started talking about French police. Maybe I was being ornery. I'm not an idiot although i'm feeling very pineappleish today. Actually I do remember something about Andorra. There was a simpson's episode something to do with it and PBS did something about them have low taxes. I'm not pretending, but I've learned a lesson to now ignore my french teacher. Are aussie dollars as profitable as gold and euros?
