FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 37: THE SUMMER LULL
To start this week's Yellow Vests coverage some notes about investigations into police wrongdoing.
A public prosecutor in Toulon reported opening an investigation into a January incident there when a police commander hit a person on the sideline of a Yellow Vests protest.

But the investigation by the Inspector General of France's National Police ended over the treatment of students during a mass arrest December 6th, 2018 at a school in Mantes-la-Jolie.
There were many student protests in the early days of the Yellow Vests and here students were forced to kneel with hands above their heads or handcuffed, some against a wall after 151 of them were arrested.
It was already being said in May by police leadership that police did nothing wrong in that incident.
A video posted this morning of some yellow painting along a highway that is the route of the "Tour de France" bicycle race.
One is the letters "GJ" for "Gilets Jaunes" or "Yellow Vests". Another says "Steve" remembering the man missing after a police tear gassing incident in Nantes in June when "Steve" fell into the Loire River. The video link below:

But early indications are that there are numerous locations across France with reduced numbers for Week 37 of the Yellow Vests.
