BREAKING NEWS:  ACT 12 OF THE YELLOW VESTS PROTESTS IN FRANCE

(LATEST INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED AT THE BOTTOM AS ABLE)

(355 AM EASTERN US TIME, 955 AM IN PARIS)

Today's protests focused on the violence of the police against protesters with injury totals in the thousands over the last three months of protest in the country.

The weapon of choice causing most of the injuries the "flash bang" or as its called in France the "flash ball".

Leftist political leader John Luc-Melenchon calling President Emmanuel Macron:

"President Flash Ball"

Here in the USA we have experienced the "flash bang" in Oregon used against the non-violent patriotic American protesters of the Oregon Standoff on that fateful January 26th, 2016 when LaVoy Finicum was murdered by an Oregon State Police trooper acting for the FBI.

Numerous flash bangs fired at his truck during the times it was stopped by the authorities.

Injured with shrapnel in his shoulder during that attack protester Ryan Bundy.

An injured Yellow Vests protester with a patched eye being interviewed in recent moments on BFM-TV.

The procession in Paris gets underway in a few hours at Noon.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said Friday some 80-thousand police are mobilized across the country today.

On Friday the State Council in France refused to order the police to stop using the "flash ball" "flash bang" rounds on protesters.

Castaner says that police must use the injurious weapon to avoid hand to hand combat or use of firearms.
