Assassin's Creed and real-life Parkour on the roofs of Paris

This is slightly insane. Guys in the costuming of Assassin's Creed, doing real parkour on the roofs of Paris. Some of the vertical drops appear nuts to me. Starts in front of the Cathedral Notre Dame---and ends by the banks of the Seine. So, French for that.

Yes but, why did they kill the policemen ? We need to see the context of the event before we can judge. Who knows what the cops did before. And why were the cops running away ? Why didn't they call for back up. You should never resist an arrest. Thes guys are in real trouble now. Know your rights! Vive la France!

A pedantic but potentially interesting point. This looked to me like Free Running rather than Parkour.

Parkour is getting from A to B in the quickest / most direct / most efficient way possible. Free running is running around using fancy acrobatic tricks.

Both are cool and often pretty, but despite having nothing to do with either, I think it's a distinction worth making.

Thanks for the education. Think it's worth relabeling?

Because it's not "Law-abiding Public Rights Advocate's Creed"
