. We noticed, though, that the closer we got to soldiers, the less the buskers pushed.

Guns have that kind of effect on people.

Would hate it if it were to happen in my country though =|
It's a damn shame it's required in France


Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Say what you want about the US, but when I've been there, I've always felt safe and haven't seen the visible signs of force I saw in Paris. Hell, Capitol Hill seemed less guarded than the Eiffel Tower (though it's really not)

Source? Post shooting the security is streamlined and more forceful

Some people are of the opinion that the most succesfull security operations require only a few actual bodies on-site.

The Eiffel Tower. So many illegal buskers, aggressively pushing wares on any timid looking English family. We noticed, though, that the closer we got to soldiers, the less the buskers pushed. A pair of them grabbed me and fast talked their way into (basically) mugging my dad.
Apart from that, the sheer amount of soldiers on the streets made us feel fairly safe.

Did you reach to police officers ? Actually I did a lot of patrols in this area (both in uniform and plain clothes) and I've never seen some muggin right under the Eiffel Tower. Mostly it's inoffensive illegal sellers (picked up every month but they come back, too much money to make with chineses tourists) and some gypsies pickpockets. However, I'm sorry if you had to live this.

Some people are of the opinion that the most succesfull security operations require only a few actual bodies on-site.

I would say that the key is the combination of both. Uniforms, visible soldiers and stuff are needed for two reasons : make feel safe the civilians and attract possible attackers (as in the Louvre) or make them change their way to another area where there is CCTV/plain-clothes officers looking for them more discretly.

I think they probably just ramped up guards and surveillance. Nortre-Dame has military patrols with assault rifles. The most you see at parliament is pistols.

I read somewhere that SMG's were being deployed on-site.
Also, Riddlez, you're 100 percent correct

"Lets talk about how Trump is an idiot and ignore everything he has accomplished"

Honestly

If Trump is an idiot, you must be literally retarded because I doubt you have accomplished 1% of the things that man has.

Hahaha, God forbid anyone critize your beloved EU. I think by even trying to defend some of the EU's worst choices of 2016 you're really just showing us to what extent you'll blindly defend your failing project.
