"Today the police are in combat because we are at war. Tomorrow we will enter resistance..."
By Tyler Durden: "If I was to put money on it I would say that we're going to see another
night of violence," SKY News' Siobhan Robbins said while reporting on a
gun store that was looted.Social unrest spread like cancer across French cities for a fourth
consecutive night, with hundreds of buildings and vehicles set ablaze.
President Emmanuel Macron's government struggled to contain the
violence, which was sparked on Tuesday after a teenager was shot dead by
a police officer.
In an update on Saturday, France's Interior
Ministry said 2,500 fires were reported overnight. Rioters set fire to
1,350 vehicles and 235 buildings nationwide. About 1,300 people were
arrested, while the government mobilized 45,000 police officers with
armored vehicles to quell the violence.
According to The Telegraph,
French police said they were "at war" with "savage hordes of vermin" on
Friday night. The country's top police unions threatened revolt unless
Macron's government restored law and order.
