French Police Deploy Rifles with Live Ammunition to Yellow Vest Protests
Breitbart ^ | 15 Jan, 2019 | Chris Tomlinson

French riot police (CRS) are alleged to have begun deploying assault rifles with live ammunition for the first time during the ninth weekend of protest in a row by the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) movement.

French officers were caught on video brandishing what appeared to be Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifles on the streets of the French capital near the Arc de Triomphe on Saturday, the Daily Mail reports.

Several users on Twitter posted other pictures of officers armed with rifles, with one user claiming he had counted at least a dozen armed officers at around 3 p.m. near the famous monument.

Only a week prior to the “Act IX” protest, former French Minister of Education Luc Ferry had seemingly endorsed the use of live ammunition on Yellow Vest protestors in an interview with French media.

Would you engineer a ‘false flag’ operation?

I hope not.

Let’s go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny’s
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!

Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!

This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings,
What do they want?
For whom these vile shackles,
These long-prepared irons? (repeat)
Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult!
What emotions that must excite!
It is us that they dare to consider
Returning to ancient slavery!

What! These foreign troops
Would make laws in our home!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat)
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brows would bend beneath the yoke!
Vile despots would become
The masters of our fate!

Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors,
The disgrace of all groups,
Tremble! Your parricidal plans
Will finally pay the price! (repeat)
Everyone is a soldier to fight you,
If they fall, our young heros,
France will make more,
Ready to battle you!

Sacred love of France,
Lead, support our avenging arms!
Liberty, beloved Liberty,
Fight with your defenders! (repeat)
Under our flags, let victory
Hasten to your manly tones!
May your dying enemies
See your triumph and our glory!

We will enter the pit
When our elders are no longer there;
There, we will find their dust
And the traces of their virtues. (repeat)
Much less eager to outlive them
Than to share their casket,
We will have the sublime pride
Of avenging them or following them!

Interesting point in history...both the British and French governments teeter on the eve of destruction. The American government meanwhile has been rendered dysfunctional by the political class.

It’s been reported that the islamists have been infiltrating the French police for several years now. Wouldn’t surprise me if they even have government facilitating it. Could be quite a bloodbath when they get the word.

I don’t even know who the yellow jackets represent, but I take joy in seeing them kick the globalists in the chops.

Macron may soon end up on our Southern border asking for asylum.

I can only think back on when just before the allies got to Paris in WW2.

They came out of the woodwork.

The Democrat way: disarm the citizens so the police and army can kill them at their leisure

Yellow jackets are unarmed.

Only until they raid their local mosque!

>They need to start doing the barricade thing. Nobody does a >barricade like the French. Well, they kinda invented the word Noun Borrowed from French, going back to Middle French, from barrique "barrel," a typical component of barricades (borrowed from Gascon barriqua, probably going back to pre-Latin *barrīca) + -ade -ADE

***brandishing what appeared to be Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifles ***

What? They are not using the RUGER Mini-14s bought back in the early 1980s? Rugers disappeared from American stores back then. Saw a riot in Paris on TV and the cops were armed with Mini-14s.
