8PARIS, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Ignoring the government's threat of a curfew, youths rioted for the 12th night in France, torching more than 800 vehicles around the country and injuring four police, the Interior Ministry said on Tuesday.
The nightly protests against racism and unemployment dropped markedly in the greater Paris region, where violence had escalated to the point of shooting at police, but continued unabated in other parts of France, a ministry statement showed.
The renewed violence followed a warning by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin that he would take a firm line against lawbreakers, including reinforcements for police and curfews not seen here since the Algerian war of 1954-1962.
Villepin's cabinet was due to meet on Tuesday to approve the new measures. A town east of Paris imposed its own curfew on minors on Monday evening and another to the west of the capital organised citizen patrols to help the police.
"Wherever it is necessary, prefects will be able to impose a curfew," Villepin said, referring to the senior officials responsible for security in departments around the country.
The prime minister urged citizens to pitch in to fight the violence, which began after the accidental electrocution of two youths fleeing the police near Paris and spiralled into nightly hit-and-run attacks on cars, buses, shops and schools.
"It's important to mobilise everyone to send out a message of calm and control," he said on TF1 television. "Residents, neighbours, parents -- anyone who can help restore calm, especially among the young, can do useful work."
The Interior Ministry said in a statement that 814 vehicles were torched overnight, a drop from 1,408 the previous night. The number of injured police officers also fell sharply from 36 on Sunday night to four overnight. Some 143 rioters were detained.
NO TROOPS FOR THE SUBURBS
Villepin said 1,500 police and gendarmes would be brought in to back up the 8,000 officers already deployed in areas hit by unrest. He also promised to accelerate urban renewal programmes.
But he dismissed growing calls for army intervention, saying: "We have not reached that point."
(snipet)
Well lets be fair...if they send in the military, they will immediately surrender!
SERIOUSLY, France is in deep trouble, and it is obvious that the politicans are letting them down...BIG TIME!

So, is this the Europe that Jean Cherri wanted the US to be more like?

"The prime minister urged citizens to pitch in to fight the violence,..."

No they discounted the THREAT of curfew.

Coast to Coast saying only 8 of the arrestees are under 18.

This guy is outta his freakin' mind! The only thing "calm" will get anyone at this point is killed. It's a mob, you twit!
"Well, lets see....you got mooslim terrorists shooting at cops and rescue workers and you threaten them with a curfew.

The MSM refuses to believe that this is more than just 'rampaging youths' protesting unemployment. Idiots.
