Snipers on the roof

While in Paris last week, there was a trial going on at the Ministry of Justice, which was just down the street from our apartment. During the whole week, there were plenty o'cops on the street. Every car that drove down the Quai de Orfevres was stopped, and was inspected with mirrors on sticks so they could see if there were bombs underneath the car.

At the same time, Doreen noticed police with long guns on the roof of various buildings across the river.

She took photos:

I would never take photos of cops with guns.

We never did figure out who was being tried, but we didn't try too hard. Doreen asked one of the cops, and he said it was a criminal.

There you go.
