Sorry, that was just the title. Here is the article (admittedly short):
Some 200 youths were lobbing stones at police in Grigny south of Paris when some fired shotguns. Two officers were treated in hospital with lead shot wounds.
I have a solution to end this "civil unrest" right now:
issue the cops REAL guns and real bullets. Oh yeah, maybe letting ordinary citizens have firearms might help too. This serves the French right. (I actually don't know, maybe the cops do have guns and bullets, but obviously they're not using them if they do) If this happened in the US, it would be put down in about one day at most. Maybe two.
