Yellow Jackets: Violence in Paris

Photos from the Gilets Jaunes riots in Paris sparked outrage, after protests intensified on Saturday 1st December 2018.

Completely out of their depth, the police and riot squad were unable to prevent such vandalism. The profiles of those involved are rather surprising: far from typical rioters, who usually have far-right or extreme left-wing beliefs and are used to clampdowns, the great majority of the Gilets Jaunes are ordinary men and women, often with families and without criminal records. How are the police going to adapt their plan of action? And just how far can this unprecedented movement go?
