French police have declared they are 'at war' with 'savage hordes of vermin' amid widespread rioting and looting that saw a bus stolen and a car smashed into a supermarket front.
Two police unions threatened a revolt unless Emmanuel Macron's government restored order amid protests sparked by the killing of a French-Algerian teenager by police on Tuesday - also causing the French president to cancel his trip to Germany.
'Today the police are in combat because we are at war,' a report from the unions said. 'Tomorrow we will enter resistance and the government should be aware of this.'
It comes as marauding gangs of rioters clashed with police again last night leading to 1,300 arrests. Footage showed the extreme chaos on French streets as rioters were seen speeding in a bus and smashing a car into the front of a Lidl supermarket.
The friends and family of Nahel today attended the funeral of the 17-year-old shot at point-blank range by an officer at a traffic stop earlier this week.
Looters have ransacked dozens of shops and torched 2,000 vehicles since the start of the riots, which have spread to cities such as Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg and Lille.
More than 200 police officers have been injured, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said, adding that the average age of those arrested was 17.
Friday night's arrests included 80 people in Marseille, home to many people of North African descent.
Social media images showed an explosion rocking the old port area of the southern city, but no casualties were reported.
A gunman yesterday also opened up on police and a weapons shop was looted.
An officer in Villeurbanne, near Lyon, described how 'gunfire started' as a patrol entered a council estate where tower blocks had been set alight in the early hours...

“French police union declares “civil war” in France: it’s us or the violent minorities…”
excerpt of message from the French police union:
“For these reasons, Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA Police will take their responsibilities and warn the government from now on that at the end, we will be in action and without concrete measures for the legal protection of the Police, an appropriate penal response, significant means provided, the police will judge the extent of the consideration given.
Today the police are in combat because we are at war. Tomorrow we will be in resistance and the government will have to become aware of it.””
Our cops just stand by and let it happen
President Macronis an idiot. He’s slow to react.
Unless they wake up, and it’s not clear they will. We shall see.
The absurd West is now paying a heavy price for allowing leftist filth, sexual degenerates and anti-White, anti-Christian pigs to convince it to reject everything that made it powerful, prosperous and coherent.
Camp Of the Saints, here it comes. . .
Staying in Villeurbanne tonight. Wish me luck!
This is a war france lost when Napolean made Algeria part of france.
Mow them down .
No mercy. Draw the line .
Any migrant rioting should go to the grave

Well, to be fair Macron was quick to identify the cause of the riots. He blamed video games. Hmm. Yes, I guess that does make him an idiot.

There are many, many good reasons to criticize unions. But they are often the only organizations that will tell you the truth of a situation.
This is one example of that.
For decades, it’s been openly discussed that French leadership is highly insulated and unable to comprehend national problems....other than attending parties, talking to like-minded intellectuals, and convincing the public that things can be resolved with ‘talk’.
The typical French person shakes his head and doesn’t buy into the leadership...but all you get offered politically is more of the highly insulated intellectuals.
You don’t conquer a country, instead you occupy it.
Niccolo Machiavelli.
Our turn is coming soon.
Regimes collapse when the police take off their uniforms and go home.
The translation is a bit awkward, but what I interpret the police unions are saying is if they are not backed up legally in what they need to restore order, and hung out to dry like the office charged, “the police will judge the extent of the consideration given.”
If all the police call in sick, I don’t know what will happen.
“Regimes collapse when the police take off their uniforms and go home.”
Given the tone of the statement by the police union that scenario appears to be a real possibility.
No Napoleon made Algeria part of France.
The closest call was that Louis Napoleon (later Napoleon III) was elected President of the Republic on Dec 10, 1848, one day after certain parts of Algeria were designated Metropolitan Departments.
Between 1815 and Dec 1848 no Napoleons were running France.
All of the money we spent on NATO to keep Western Europe free from the Russians and they turn around and give it away to the sub human Africans.
