Craziest part, kettling was ruled a lawful tactic by the European Court of Human Right in 2012

Considering all the phrases we have about trapped animals, having nothing to lose, having your back to a wall etc you'd think it would be clear the kind of reaction this accomplishes.
Let's trap this group of people in a confined space together and threaten them with violence they can't avoid, that'll go great.

I think it’s a routine tactic for riot police anywhere, used in the UK too

In French it's referred to as "une nasse" and Macron is seemingly a huge fan

Earlier in 2026, president Isaac Herzog from the genocidal rogue state of israel was invited to Australia.
People protested for good reason, Sydney police kettled groups without providing clear exits, naturally chaos ensured. Inquiries into the rampant police brutality are still ongoing from this event.
To no ones surprise, NSW State Premier - Chris 'Mossad' Minns - stands strongly behind the police, and not the community he serves.

St Louis police are especially fond of this tactic. Kettling should be illegal.

The whole word hates the police. That’s a sick chant.

It means "everyone" in context, otherwise it would be "le monde entier déteste la police". Which remains true lol

It can, but not in this context. International French says that to be precise you'd say "le monde au complet" to say the whole world

Dans quel contexte est-ce que tu dirais "tout le monde" pour parler du monde entier exactement ?

Toronto police famously did this to innocent people during the G20. Kettled them in so they couldn't leave and kept closing in with threats of force and arrest. I've often wondered how many undercover cops were involved in the rioting and destruction at that event. Helps them get more funding.
