Tear gas, hate speech marks 14th yellow vest protest 0 SHARES Share it! Acrid clouds of tear gas filled the esplanade of Les Invalides monument, obscuring the gold dome that crowns the monument housing Napoleon’s tomb. Police used tear gas and water cannon in Bordeaux, a stronghold of the yellow vest movement, and other cities on the 14th straight Saturday of protests. Some yellow vest protesters have expressed racist or anti-Semitic views online and on the sidelines of protests. Many French are asking aloud how long the yellow vest movement will keep up its protests, which drain security forces and have dented the French economy.
