After the yellow vest protests started again in France and the masses took to the streets fighting against the bourgeois state and its state of emergency, the French police now want to bring new guns to bear. For years the police used armoured vehicles, which had been in use since the 1970s and recently even more so. These were suitable, for example, for clearing barricades. However, as they were getting on in years and the market did not offer anything that met the requirements, they were renovated and old army stocks were used. A very expensive affair, the renovation, which only prolongs the operational capability by 10 years, costs around 300,000 Euros, but a new acquisition "only" 700,00 Euros. Now, within the framework of the new finance law 2021, which still has to be passed by parliament, it has been decided that the budget for the mission "Security“ will be increased by one billion euros to 13.9 billion euros. This will allow the mobile police to buy 89 new armoured vehicles for about 65 million euro. By 2030, the number of light armoured police vehicles will be increased to almost 1000.
Apart from new vehicles that meet today's requirements, the police in France also like to use so-called LBDs, rubber bullets, which among other things caused the death of one person in 2010. While the police want to get rid of disruptive demonstrators with their tanks, resistance to their weapons is prohibited, however, a "violent gesture", as a yellow vest protestor recently experienced. After a cop aimed his LBD at him at close range and the protestor quickly pushed the gun away, he was now sentenced to six months in prison and a fine of 250 Euros. Militarisation is advancing in France and anyone who resists is condemned.
