One of CRT’s main missions is maintaining law and order during demonstrations and riot control.

Yes, and as your link says, they’re “on reserve,” not “in your face” with their militarism, like US local police are.
The point of the meme I quoted, and that you objected to, is that in your face militarized local police are an especially intimidating, suppressive force not faced by potential protesters in France.
I appreciate learning about differing suppressive French forces, but I also think the meme’s point about US conditions – specifically, one reason why US citizens are less likely to jump up and join a protest – is a valid one.

Is there room for the rest of the world (except Russia and Belarus) flags?
I do like the Greenland flag though

The Greenland flag matches the Canadian flag; both are red and white.

I like the Greenland flag for the image of a low sun with a reflection on the sea (I assume that is the look they were going for).
Turkey, Tunisia, Bahrain, Tonga, Japan and many others could be catered for too.
