Firefighters is France brawled with riot police this week after being accosted during demostrations against French despot Macron (archived). The firefighters had been engaging in protest activities like wearing Joker makeup and lighting themselves on fire when a group of firefighters, tiring of seeing their compatriots getting roughed up by the cops, met police violence with firefighter violence. As is standard practice under Macron, police resorted to deploying chemical weapons against the civilian firefighters.

The firefighters were largely drawn from regional departments serving areas where rebels in the ongoing yellow jacket rebellion against the Macron regime are drawn from. Macron has recently capitulated to demands issued by firefighters working in the ruins of Paris. This is consistent with his record of propping up France's increasingly vagrant urbanity over all else.
