I tried to find some more info, but the only non-slop thing I ran into was this article which is in french, ew.

Anyway the picture is of Guy Burmieux (miner) and Jean-Yvon Antignac (pig). They had grown up together, gone to the same school and generally known each other until early adulthood when their lives took different paths.
Here’s an article about the strike itself

Apparently the two started hanging out every weekend after this. The cops son became a miner too, so I guess that’s something. Still, imagine you’re going out to stop ICE and you run into your best friend from back home. Must be heartwrenching.
