Like apparently the French government tried to make protesting illegal but that just made the protestors angrier? Apparently police have started to side with the protestors? Does anyone have any up-to-date news on the extent of what's happening?

Holy shit, they have a National Guard again since 2016. Maybe this time they won't switch sides? Weird thing to assume when you reinstate them, considering the entire history of the French National Guard, but I guess they're confident they will not side with the protestors in their police duties this time.
National Guard has a mixed history; they were critical in Paris Commune, for example.
