Paris authorities are investigating yellow vest protesters who were heard urging police officers to kill themselves, amid rise in suicides among French police officers.
A protestor lights a motorbike on fire during a yellow vest demonstration in Paris, Saturday, April 20, 2019. French yellow vest protesters are marching anew to remind the government that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral isn't the only problem the nation needs to solve.
Radical protesters have clashed with police nearly every weekend for five months on the margins of largely peaceful yellow vest demonstrations demanding more help for France’s beleaguered workers, retirees and students. The Paris prosecutor’s office said an investigation was opened Sunday to find those who might be prosecuted for “group offense toward a person exercising public authority.”
