...people saying the police are being too violent there is a reason and it isn’t from a little tap on the shoulder!
I've been there probably more often than you and live not that far away.
Still a huge stretch to 'killing people' don't you think?
I'd assume things have changed a lot since you were a child with open borders and all.
gossip loving aunt sensationalism (that's you) says.
PARIS
The casualties from the use of pepper spray by the French police during Yellow Vest protests has risen, local media reported Friday.
According to French Mediapart website, 11 people were killed, five lost their hands due to use of grenades and 23 lost their eyesight.
Some 2,000 people were injured at the demonstrations. Of them 268 people suffered head injuries, 15 hand injuries, 64 body injuries, 26 back injuries and 106 leg injuries.
In addition, 95 journalists, 40 high school students and 30 volunteer health officers were injured in the demonstrations and 145 acts of insult and violation of press freedom by French police were recorded.
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said the National Police Investigation Unit (IGPN) launched 220 criminal investigations on suspicion of police violence against the demonstrations.

OMG that was cute. I read your threads you know. If I tell you the police killed nobody you should believe me.
You calling me narrow minded is just further evidence how utterly clueless you are.
But please I invite you to have the last word.
Amuse me.

Good.
To hell with the scumbag riot police, Macron and his EU overlords.
France is in desperate need of a change in leadership.

Are the topic of this thread the Yellow Vests protests, or is it the may day protest?
Think hard. Or better scroll the internet for your next piece of sensationalist outrage, because I doubt you can jump that high, pony.
The firm notes that labor unions are planning mass demonstrations on May 1 to mark International Workers’ Day. These are the planned demonstration events in Paris on May 1, which “are likely to attract tens of thousands of attendees,” according to Crisis24:
Yellow Vest movement demonstrations: Antigovernment Yellow Vest protesters plan to gather at 9:30 a.m. (local time) at Place de la Porte de Vanves, then march to Place Henri Langlois, and again at 3 p.m. (local time) at Porte de Clignancourt, then march to Place Pigalle.

Better end soon! I'm taking my kids and staying on the left bank St Germaine in exactly a month. If this crap is still going on I'm not sure what it will be like.

No. Your quote is still not from this protest.
Even If the Yellow Vests participated in this protest too.

Maybe yes.
The sad part there will be no such quote and you will forever believe “May Day riots results in 5 deaths from police brutality" even If it really didn't happen.

From what I hear May 1st was the last day. People got jobs you know.
The massacre in the streets of French cities continues 🔸There are many wounded on both sides, and rumors of dead (not yet officially confirmed) 🔸At least 550 thousand protesters gathered in the streets of Paris on May Day.
...while a street artist in Paris turned dozens of uncollected trash bins into sculptures.
