Jacques-Alain Miller on the Charlie Hebdo attacks: Time has passed. Social control today takes more oblique and discreet pathways. The resentment towards the police is no longer what it once was[.] Nevertheless, the positive feelings and enthusiasm shown to the police by the Parisian population last Sunday is an unprecedented event in the history of France. What can occur in exceptional circumstances–without falling into a kind of romantic mythology which a certain De Gaulle never gave in to–is the osmosis between a population and the national army that protects it from outside aggressors. But the love of a population for the forces of internal repression? I can think of no precedent.
