  • In Hauts-de-France, all the gendarmerie brigades have a Facebook page.

  • The soldiers responsible for animating these pages often show a lot of humor.

  • Funny stories, seasonal or current events mingle with more serious information.

This is the story of a guy ... If the Army maintains its reputation as a great mute, the gendarmerie, it rather tends to let go.

Sometimes.

Of course, his main activity remains to enforce the law, which does not prevent him from putting a little humor in it.

This is especially the case on social networks, where community managers in uniform regularly swing the valves.

You just have to go hang out on the many Facebook pages of the various gendarmerie brigades in the region to see that the soldier is not lacking in humor.

Quickly, we come across a WTF post, like those published during the recent snowy episode.

Thus, the gendarmes of Oise ensured "the security of the territory" despite the snow, including with their equestrian brigade, "despite the absence of studded hooves!"

Seasonal or current humor

In the North, the soldiers stationed in Quesnoy-sur-Deûle also patrolled this weekend.

“That night, many individuals were checked without derogatory certification and, for the vast majority, not wearing masks.

Despite our repression, they remained frozen ”, it is written to illustrate a slide show of snowmen.

In addition to the weather, the coronavirus crisis did not fail to inspire the CMs of the gendarmerie.

“For once, follow the dark side and wear a mask,” writes that of the northern departmental gendarmerie group in the caption of a GIF of Darth Vader.

The same coward too, before New Year's Eve: "Even if we are going to celebrate with joy the end of this year, let's say… special to be polite, let's be careful".

"If the English cough into their elbow, can the virus cross the sleeve?

“Asks the CM of the Aisne gendarmerie.

On the side of interior Flanders, Hazebrouck's soldiers volunteered to test the Russian vaccine against Covid-19: “So far, we have not observed any reaksion or sekondariski effect иi meиш че сеитгюд ерпестe аьио овут Лопес Обрадор, и я коррумпирован и u, ”they say on their Facebook page.

Moreover, the CM of the Gendarmes of Inland Flanders page made it a point of honor to publish a funny story almost every day.

An initiative that appeals to the more than 17,000 followers of this page.

The other pages are also well followed with between 20,000 and 50,000 subscribers.

Impossible on the other hand to ensure that they mobilize traffic for the humor of their CM or thanks to the announcements of road checks.
