It is not a war zone it is the french capital this is placid its ellie and initially the protests here the yellow vests protest here it was sanctioned it was it was authorized by the by the local government by the municipality but now you can clearly see that they have revoked that permission and the police they have been moving in trying to disperse the protest now as the police has lately become more aggressive theyve been using an extensive amount of tear gas they have been using flash bangs as well to disperse the crowds now for instance what im holding right now this is one of the canisters from from the tear gas launched by the police at the protest
