Riot officers in the Paris suburb of Nanterre and the southeastern city of Lyon sprayed tear gas but appeared unable to stop the violence.

Napoleon gained fame for quelling riots and breaking up violent protests and strikes. He said afterword that all that was necessary to clear the streets of Paris was to give them a "Whiff of grapeshot". A mist of tear gas is not nearly as effective in dispersing a mob as twelve pounds of iron shot moving at high velocity.
