By Tyler Durden: As the Yellow Vest protests rage across France for the 16th straight week, shocking footage has emerged of police brutality. Apparently a Friday call for calm by President Emmanuel Macron doesn't apply to police.
In one clip, a French policeman appears to blast a wheelchair-bound man in the face with pepper spray.
In another video, reportedly captured with a mobile phone camera, a concussion can be heard - after which the camera shows a man on the ground who had been shot in the face as first responders rush to assist him.
French police have been firing 'non-lethal' 40mm rubber projectiles, which are supposed to be less harmful than rubber bullets. It is unclear what the man was hit with, or whether his injuries were life-threatening.
Approximately 39,000 Yellow Vest protesters turned out across France
