The police were going to over whelm them with Economy of Force and grab their AK’s in order to become armed...since their govt. seize weapons from the security forces over there...not really working out for them - is it?!?!

“Around 40 police officers are reported to positioned on a roundabout.

Elite security forces have been sent to the scene, according to a police source.”

So, the police are the ones with no weapons and the “elite security forces” are the ones armed with bananas?

Firing AK’s in the air? Cinco de Mayo party?

Drug gangs according to French Newspaper Le Figaro. A warning to the coppers to stay out of the hood.

Pierre-Marie Bourniquel came under fire Monday morning in the district of La Castellane north of the city. The shooting comes on the day of the visit of the Prime Minister, Manuel Valls.

Pierre-Marie Bourniquel, the director of the Marseilles police, was shot Monday morning by Kalashnikov fire in the district of La Castellane, north of the city. Following a first exchange of fire reported in the area, the most important "cop" Marseille went immediately on the spot. Taking with him a police commander, he wanted to reach a high point of the city to direct police operations. Wishing to protect the population, to stop the shooting, he asked his driver to the siren two tone, as he approached the clashes sector. But the criminals, far from impressed, fired at his vehicle. The police commander who was with him had to lie on the ground. The car has not been reached, but bullet holes were found in two or three meters from the vehicle in an embankment.

The Inspector General Bourniquel called emergency setting security of schools in the area. The authorities have called the Coalition of National Police (IFNU). A helicopter dispatched by the prefecture flies over the area. The belligerents are "maybe two groups of five to ten people." "A true Western!" Said, appalled, a local police union.

The cause of this unprecedented shooting could be a dispute related to the control of a "deal points" of the district of Castellane. "The drug trade in Marseille, for cannabis and cocaine, can bring in more 100,000 euros per month. For a single city! "Says a part of the Marseille police. On the day of the coming of the Interior Minister in Marseille, the case illustrates the power networks of traffickers, but also how the weapons of war are now widespread in the French suburbs.

The shooting comes the day of the visit by Manuel Valls. The Prime Minister must begin in the afternoon a displacement of just under 24 hours in Marseille, to greet the "excellent" results of actions taken over the last two and a half years to reduce crime and promised more resources , particularly for school.

This is fast becoming a reality in France - open warfare between Muslims and Franco-Islamophobes. Looks like the Muslims have the Islamophobes outgunned for now! Soon, coming to a US town near you, the new hit film, “The Unjustifiable Lightness of being an Islamophobe”, Act 1, Scene 1...

It’s obvious that this report is completely fabricated. We all know that guns are outlawed in France....

Hey, this wouldn’t happen to be one of those no-go zones, would it?

Hey France, How does it feel to be just like Jerusalem on a Friday night? How does it feel now to get on a bus or subway? Are those sidewalk cafes starting to seem a little naked & exposed?

A new kind of rain is falling in Paris - bullets & shrapnel.
