France. If you don’t run when the police charge at you, they will retreat.

looked like an unorganized charge though. Germany has (unfortunately) laws against demonstrating when police said its go home time. So they just pick individuals and book them for the night. With a few (unlawful) bonks on the head.
You can try resisting and de-arresting if the crowd is involved, but in my experience demonstration crowds in Germany are just passive, and a few cops can do that comfortably because the rest of the thousands of assistants just stand there and watch.
Same laws in France.
We Germans are just pussies.
I'm super jelly of France where they start burning the whole country when their gouvernment tries to increase the retirment age from 64 to 65 in Germany it's been 67 for decades without major protests from the population.
