In the sky of Paris, the ashes of fires from garbage cans and waste are swirling.
We hear the detonations of fireworks, launched, in broad daylight, in the direction of a column of CRS: galvanized by its number and by repeated clashes with the police, white-hot by tear gas who invade the boulevard, the crowd shouts, applauds, chants "
everyone hates the police
".
It's 4:45 p.m. and the atmosphere is hysterical on this Parisian boulevard in the 9th arrondissement, just a stone's throw from the Grand Rex and the Grévin museum.
Eyes reddened by gas, some throw bottles and cobblestones at the men in blue, others encourage their comrades to follow their example.
The crash of projectiles falling on the shields of the CRS, on the sidewalk or on the walls resounds.
One illustration among others of the violence that punctuated the Parisian demonstration this Thursday.
