When La Résistance started organizing in occupied Paris, it was because the German garrison picked that fight. The Germans couldn't help themselves (despite orders to police gently) but be brutal and abusive against the French, and individuals in the public felt compelled to misbehave in small acts of resistance (slashing tires, defacing propaganda posters, cutting phone lines). Things escalated from there.
