Graphic injuries suffered by Yellow Vests at hands of armed police

Some alarming reports have come in - something I'm sure the French press is all but covering up - that the police dealing with the Gilets Jaunets are causing unprecedented injuries to protestors:
Doctors, activists and others are sounding the alarm over the number of serious injuries suffered by Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) movement activists at the hands of police during the past several weeks.This is repulsive, and only makes the case even more for why Macron must resign, if he's got no issue with using such graphic force against his own people that he and his predecessors wouldn't use on Islamofascists. The victims of these horrors are owed serious amounts of money to pay their medical bills, and a public apology is in order.
The French Interior Ministry has claimed that in the first nine weeks of the Yellow Vest protests around 1,800 protesters and 1,000 police officers have been injured but have not separated out those with serious injuries, L’Express reports.
Doctors in France’s emergency rooms say that some of the injuries have been extremely serious, blaming the police use of “flash-ball” shots which have led to some of the most serious injuries, including at least four protestors, two of them women, who have lost an eye and suffered some form of disfigurement.
Documentary filmmaker David Dufresne has revealed the details of some of the most serious injuries, listing protestors who have lost hands, had jaws shattered or their eyes ripped open.
The level of police violence against the Yellow Vests was condemned by Amnesty International as early as mid-December and has been followed by medical professionals including facial reconstruction surgeon Professor Laurent Lantieri, a pioneer in facial transplantation.

Professor A.J. Caschetta said:
“The truth is that no amount of respect will satisfy Islamists.
Since the end of World War II, U.S. policy makers
have nearly always sided with Muslims against their enemies.
For decades, U.S. administrations sided with
Muslim Pakistan over Hindu India.
U.S. power and technology liberated Afghanistan
from the Soviet Union, Kuwait from Iraq,
and Bosnia and Kosovo from Yugoslavia.
Americans have fought—and some have died
—to save starving Muslims in Somalia and
flooded Muslims in Indonesia.
In 1982, U.S. power even saved the loathsome
PLO from destruction by Israel in Lebanon.
And, in spite of all this, the U.S. remains
the No. 1 target of Islamic supremacists.
U.S. policymakers should recognize that no act
of kindness, no amount of aid and no military
rescue mission will ever be enough to appease Islamists.”
