It appears the Sarkozy's tougher stance is being adopted, but they are still bashing him, blaming him for the riots, because he wanted to get tough at the very beginning, which was the right approach, of course.
Cross referencing with earlier thread with some good informative posts:
Chirac Calls Security Meeting Over Riots

The cops will hit 'em with their baguettes and berets.
Please note also, that the riots seem to be entering into "Phase II":
"These individuals seem to be looking for contact with police, and they are attacking us, unlike during the other nights," a senior officer told AFP
Chirac missed his chance to STFU...

We shall see if Chirac's tough words(eyes rolling) have on the budding thug jihadists in France.
This is locking the barn door after the horse is gone, IMO.
Chirac's plan is too simplistic.
Too little too late, IMO....

The French government response on this makes Bush seem like a veritable speed demon in dealing with Katrina.

I think it's going to be a rough night.
It's called a probe, and the French are availing themselves of the opportunity to showcase their weaknesses to the islamic world.
Anyone who still believes this is about two morons who fried themselves in a substation is impossibly naive. The hit-and-run car-torching was one thing; this is quite another. The 200 "youths" who attacked the police with bats and Molotov cocktails should be decorating the boulevard with their bodies at the moment. They aren't, and that's a very bad development.
I heard Chirac was seen wandering around Paris with a white flag looking for someone to surrender to
Remain calm! All is well!
