A Yellow Vest wrapped in a French Flag confronts riot police and water cannons. Act VI dubbed 'Revolt' of the Yellow Vest movement begun peacefully but the protest turned rapidly to riots for hours. Gendarmerie Mobile and riot police launched volleys of tear gas canisters, fired dozens rounds of flashballs and used two police water cannons. The Yellow Jackets movement begun on November 17th by a protest against the rise of taxes on oil products. The rise of taxes was the detonator of their wrath against French President Macron and his governement and their demand of his resignation.Toulouse. France. December 22th 2018.
