My Advice for France

If any of the rioters arrested during the protests are in France illegally, they should be immediately deported.

Those individuals can go back and burn and loot their own country.

🇨🇵 Violence Erupts during Protests Against Police Violence in Paris Today

Thousands of demonstrators marched across France today in protest of Police violence.

Unions told French media outlets some 80'000 people marched across France, with at least 15'000 in Paris alone.

Early in the Paris protest, violence broke out as hundreds of radical protestors broke away from the main march and began smashing business and car windows, ATMs and attacked Police cruisers.

At one point, a Police Officer in a cruiser came under attack from protestors smashing the windshield with a crowbar as the officer tried to escape in his vehicle but the road was blocked. The officer then steps out of the cruiser with his gun drawn.

The French Government denounced what it called "unacceptable violence" during the March. "We see where anti-police hatred leads." Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on X.

The Paris Police Chief Laurent Nunez told reporters three people had been arrested over the incident. Another three were arrested elsewhere in France during similar protest violence.

Men and women dressed in bright yellow vests took to the streets in Paris over the weekend resulting in more than 400 arrests, dozens of cars going up in flames, and over 100 people injured in France’s worst urban riot in years, the Associated Press reported.

These 5,000 protestors known as Yellow Jackets, dressed in the yellow fluorescent vests that motorists in France must have in their cars, started their movement on November 17, according to the AP, as a demonstration against increased taxes on gas and diesel fuel. They said that French President Emmanuel Macron's policies unequally hurt the French working poor. Macron has insisted the tax increases were necessary to combat climate change.

The Yellow Jackets reportedly started on social media, primarily Facebook, as a grassroots mass protest movement, according to City Lab, with seemingly no wider political agenda or links to existing groups. Beyond the cost of gas and diesel fuel, there’s no real consensus on what the group is protesting or why. Moreover, there appears to be no de facto leader or person who speaks on behalf of the group.
