Watch: French Police Break Car Windows, Beat Protesters as Freedom Convoy Bursts into Paris
Breitbart ^ | 12 Feb 2022 | KURT ZINDULKA

French police have squared off with thousands of protesters attempting to establish a Canadian-style convoy in Paris in response to the draconian coronavirus measures that Emmanuel Macron’s government has imposed upon the country.

A little over a month after President Macron infamously announced that he wanted to “piss off” the unvaccinated people in France by introducing full-on vaccine passports in the country, over 3,000 vehicles have attempted to enter Paris to demand an end to the Covid regime.

It is not clear at the time of writing how many vehicles of them actually made it into the city, as police were sending many cars away throughout the day.

Ahead of the demonstration, Mr Macron called on Friday for “calm”, saying: “We are all collectively tired of what we have been experiencing for two years and sometimes this fatigue also translates into anger. I hear and respect her. But I call for the greatest calm.”

At the time of this reporting, five people have been arrested for carrying slingshots and police have used tear gas and used tractors and tow trucks to remove vehicles from the Champs-Elysées area.

I call for the greatest calm.”

As I send the Gestapo out to round up the usual suspects, crack some heads, and smash windows of the shops of our unwanted citizens.

Too bad they can’t muster that kind of nerve when the real terrorists in their midst go on a killing spree.

That’s because the terrorists fight back. Free citizens don’t need to fight back because they are free not to do what we tell them so they don’t need to abuse their freedom by not doing it because they are free. Consequently urge them to respect their freedom by doing what we tell them to do. It’s for their own good.

The real terrorists fight back. And hit back. The French Police, “Hell with the terrorists, they fight back. We will get the Freedom Convoy. They won’ fight back.”

Vive la France!

Perhaps the Germans stayed a little too long, last time.

It should be evident by now that the police and not on the side of freedom. Be it in Australia, France, Canada, or the United States.

This isn’t about mandates anymore. It’s about power.

We are witnessing regimes in free falls.

If the police side with the protesters, then this is over.

In some ways, pre-War French governments were actually worse than the pre-War Germans.

The police will side with those who pay their wage and pensions. Same with the military.

Didn’t make my post clear. The police and military types will side with their government masters. Sad, but true.

He’s calling for calm while he’s siccing his brownshirt police on France’s own citizens.
