Credit: LA X Paris authorities have deployed 70,000 police and gendarmes for a new day of demonstrations on Saturday, October 24, in an attempt to avoid a repeat of last weekend's unrest. Shop owners in the capital have boarded up windows and protected their businesses, while prominent museums in Paris have closed their doors. Demonstrations are planned in multiple cities, but authorities have prohibited gatherings in certain areas due to concerns of additional disorder.
