Macron Visits his Military and Calls for Unity After Police Run from Protestors This Yahoo news piece claims there were only 35,000 protestors yesterday and says that was half as many the week before.  Problem is last week  they said their were around 35,000 protestors.  However many there were it was a large enough and bold enough number that police fled from the crowd.  Even the week before Christmas the French were out in several cities around France yesterday. https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1076830029974167552 Combine this report with Yesterday's report by French newspaper Le Monde that he has been holed up in his office hiding and cancelling all meetings except with his closest supporters it takes on a significance that he risked going out to see his military.  With the police beaten and overwhelmed is he planning to use his military.  Add in reports last week that 12 Generals called him a traitor in an open letter (Multiple sources but 1 dubious source casted doubt).   Here's a link to post about Le Monde Report https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/2930242 Post on police fleeing Protestors and attack by protestor. Video link https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/2930129
