French Riot Police Deploy Semi-Auto Weapons Against Yellow Vests As Macron Declares Martial Law

>>>/related/15

French riot police were pictured brandishing Heckler & Koch G36 semi-automatic rifles with 30-round magazines near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on Saturday afternoon, reports the Daily Mail.

The deployment of rifles with presumably live ammunition visible through the magazine is an intimidating escalation as President Emmanuel Macron continues to lose his grip over France following nine weeks of country-wide protests by the Gilet Jaunes (Yellow Vest) movement.

The Gilet Jaunes began as a demonstration against a climate change-linked fuel tax, which quickly morphed into a general anti-government protest against the Macron administration and the world's highest taxes. We're sure France's plege to send 1 billion euros to rebuild Iraq will help calm them down.

Yellow Vest demonstrator Gilles Caron told the Mail "The CRS with the guns were wearing riot control helmets and body armour – they were not a specialised firearms unit," adding "Their job was simply to threaten us with lethal weapons in a manner which is very troubling. We deserve some explanations."

A French National Police spokesman confirmed that the CRS were equipped with H&K G36s on Saturday, but would not discuss their operational use ‘for security reasons’.

A G36 was stolen from inside a police van during a similar Yellow Vest demonstration by the Arc de Triomphe on December 1.

Former French conservative minister Luc Ferry called for live rounds to be used against the Yellow Vest "thugs" who "beat up police," such as this former pro heavyweight boxer, 37-year-old Christophe Dettinger who was arrested after squaring off with several French police officers.

Ferry - a full time philosopher now, said: "What I don’t understand is that we don’t give the means to the police to put an end to this violence." When challenged with the suggestion that the guns might lead to bloodshed, Ferry said: "So what? Listen, frankly, when you see guys beating up an unfortunate policeman on the floor, that’s when they should use their weapons once and for all! That’s enough."

Is the fire rising?

Honesty yes. Anons here rather talk about the propaganda thats put out then the happenings going around the world no matter how serious these happenings become. Many of the masses like to be sheltered from reality, I just wish it were those who stuck to the tv set instead.

Hopefully soon. I hear that they have planned a run on the banks, if they have enough balls to do this it could tank the whole European economy. (Not that much here give a flying rats ass what really happens).

No such thing as martial law in France. Absolute 80 IQ anglo bullshit.

All law in France is martial. The Brave Gendarmes enforce it.

Well whatever the hell they call it, its now a declared crisis and the police have been militarized to deal with the chaos.

Has Macron literally declared it or is it just a thing he's doing that the media won't report?

Mainstream corporate media won't cover jack shit of whats going on over there. This is something you all should expect by now.

All law is martial

Ok.

or marital

I want one

where do you think a large part of your population came from you fucking brainless idiot
you just repeat what you've heard other shitheads say, without any thought whatsoever.

also, thread is pointless, since fully and semi automatic rifles have been carried around Paris for well over a decade - to deal with shitskin terrorists.
the military patrol every single day as routine

He's making reference to the Eternal Anglo meme, that they are Britkikes and at the forefront of Western dissolution.

yeah, and the meme is inherently flawed and pushed by kike d&c, yet it is lapped up by the same brand of imbeciles that chased the anti-german d&c some years ago

so what's the point of your reply?

so what's the point of your reply?

Why hasn't this guy stepped down yet? Seriously.

Because the idiot believes he is going to win and have something at the end of the day. In truth he is either going to be the puppet leader of a third world France, or just flat out removed.
