The immigrants, the left leaning Paris elite, and "ordinary France" -- those who live in smaller cities and the countryside.
The elite play the police, praising them when they bash heads of people like the working people protesting the arbitrary increase in the pension age, and castigating them when there is an incident with an immigrant youth who had already been in court 15 times.
The elite aren't large in number but still control the police, the army, the media, and various powers among the commercial sector. Lets them get away with a lot.

Hummm sounds like just about all the other countries !!
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
No one rules if no one obeys
