Police racism caught on tape [France]

THE exchange could hardly have been worse for the French police as they strive to allay their reputation as enemy of the ethnic estates.

TF1, the television channel, showed a young Arab on the outskirts of Lyons objecting politely about the insulting manner of an officer who had demanded his identity papers.

"You want me to take you to a transformer?" the officer sneers back, referring to the electricity station where two teenagers were electrocuted while fleeing an identity check.

The incident sparked the riots.

"We don't give a shit if your estate calms down," said the officer, using the disrespectful "tu" rather than "vous".

In fact, the more it gets f...ed up the happier we are."

The episode hardly conveyed the responsible manner for which the Government has been congratulating the hard-pressed forces de l'ordre during the ethnic rioting that broke out in response to the teenagers' deaths on October 27.

It did illustrate the wall of incomprehension that separates the white French police from the inhabitants of the sprawling estates whose young men have gone on the rampage.

Haven't heard more details, but seems to me these lads must have scaled a fence to get into a high voltage area. Not to mention, what were they high or soused on to give them the idea of climbing up on top of a transformer. Not even France is stupid enough to put up substations without fences, is it?

French people are not stupid, no.

Let's not forget this classic of TF2:

"France 2's Deadly Defamation

After three years of research, more than 150 inquiries, interviews and analyses devoted to the France 2 report of September 30, 2000 at the Netzarim Junction, in the Gaza strip, the Ména has published a long series of revealing articles establishing the fraudulent nature of the reporting of this story.

The news report produced by Talal Abu-Rahma and Charles Enderlin, asserting that a Palestinian child had been assassinated by Israeli soldiers, and distributed free of charge by a French public television channel around the world is a gross staging, aimed at demonizing Israel and the Israeli army. The soldiers accused by the commentary of the permanent correspondent of FR2 at Jerusalem did not fire a single projectile in the direction of the adult Jamal Al-Dura and the child at his side, as they were completely unaware of their presence on the scene.

The supposed authenticity of the report, defended until now by the channel's management, was based on the sole testimony of its reporter Talal Abu-Rahma and principally on the declaration written, filed and ratified by the latter, 3 October 2000, in the presence of the lawyer of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), Raji Sourani at Gaza."

I guess there are some groups French TV does not fear inflaming.

"The French are disposed to violent protesting, as we saw in 1968. It required the majestic authority of Charles de Gaulle to stabilize the nation, but that year, France had the bad company of revolutionary protests in many parts of the world, notably Mexico City, Rome and Tokyo. It would be just to say about the French that there is a disposition to revolutionary activity in the Gallic gene that does not afflict Great Britain and Germany, let alone the United States, where multiculturalism is now a way of life."
