Couldn't find any English sources on this yet but if you speak French you can look at this (or read the statement directly at the bottom of this post)

Translation of the statement (I didn't translate some more throwaway lines but I can add those as well if people want):

NOW THAT'S ENOUGH...

Faced with these savage hordes, asking for calm is not enough, it needs to be imposed!

Reestablishing republican order and preventing the arrested from being able to harm should be the only political signals to be given.

Faced with these demands, the police family must have solidarity.

Our colleagues, like the majority of citizens, can no longer suffer the dictate of these violent minorities. (lol)

The hour isn't for union action, but for the combat against these "pests" Submitting, capitulating, and pleasing them by laying down arms are not solutions seeing the gravity of the situation.

All means necessary must be put in place to restore as quickly as possible the rule of law.

[...]

[...]

Today the Police are in combat because we are at war.
