Police Flee Armed Mob as Week-Long Paris Riots Spread (Video)
2017-02-17
[Breitbart] French police have been filmed fleeing from armed mobs as riots continue in Paris for the second week and the unrest has now spread to the city centre.

Hundreds of violent thugs took to the streets on Wednesday night near the Barbes Metro station, close to the major transport hub Gare du Nord. Windows were smashed, shops looted, fires lit, main roads blocked, and police cars targeted during the disturbance.

According to Le Figaro, the destruction is getting worse. At the beginning of the week, on the nights of the 12th and 13th, 32 vehicles were burnt out. On the 14th and 15th, some 47 cars were destroyed by fire as well as 59 bins.

Police appeared to have completely lost control at times, with unverified videos surfacing on Twitter of officers being chased out of certain neighbourhoods by rioters.

#7  Give 'em a little more time. Somehow I have a feeling that when they finally get pissed off enough they'll do what they need to do. Most likely they'll over do it. Then we'll get to listen to all the sanctimonious condemnations. Won't that be fun?

#6  IIRC there was a cat named Napolean that had an answer to this, and he was French

Also why the streets of Paris were rebuilt and straightened in order to allow cannon to control intersections.

#5  So the French own no rifles?

Could they import some Roof Koreans? Or get training from some?
