Gee, 12 zillion cars torched..schools and churches burned to the ground...and unequiped, untrained, unsupported police using "tu" instead of "vou" is fretted over?

[Sociopathocracy]

Further proof that the Frogs are done for.

[oceanview]

great - now Chirac et al can blame the police for the riots.

[crazycat]

Good to see that at least some Police know what they are dealing with....Scum.

So you want to go and fry with your mates? You want to go into the transformer? Shut your ugly mug, we’re going to give you a going over

I can't help thinking: Hooray for at least one French policeman, driven to his limits by days of cretinous inaction by the soi-disant French elite.

[L98Fiero]

Maybe I missed them but where were the "racist taunts" as the title states?

[CondorFlight]

After the authorities finish apologizing all over France for the use of some offensive language by police, the rioters will become really emboldended, and, sensing weakness, may upgrade their attacks into a real intifada.Then, the French will have to seriously have to consider sending in the army.
So a bad situation will become worse, because the PC crowd
will tend to make a mountain out of molehill over police conduct, instead of seeing it as a minor sidelight.

“We don’t give a s*** if your estate calms down,” added the officer, using the disrespectful “tu” rather than “vous”

[Murtyo]

"tu" - from my french class - years ago, "tu" is used when you're familiar with someone, like you friends or family. "Vou" for someone you don't know or a teacher or superior. I don't think "tu" is automatically 'disrespectful'.

Have we chased all the French people away or can a native French speaker answer this??

[Mount Athos]

Maybe the muslims can further cripple the police with political correctness. The socialists will eagerly help along.

A lot of these European countries haven't figured out something. When you focus your criticisms on the police, and make them the suspect when they try to stop crime, then suddenly the police aren't very motivated to fight crime. And you get lots, and lots of crime.

The horror!

“We don’t give a s*** if your estate calms down,” added the officer, using the disrespectful “tu” rather than “vous”.

Gee, 12 zillion cars torched..schools and churches burned to the ground...and unequiped, untrained, unsupported police using "tu" instead of "vou" is fretted over?

Impressive, isn't it?

[TC Rider]

Sounds like a job for the French Grammar Investigator!

Inspector Tutu!

[seppel]

correct. Let's put on our Sunday school behaviour and please the goddless press.

[joesnuffy]

Maybe the cop was one of those on the scene where the Muzzies had set a disabled woman on fire... Hopefully they wont get punished as grieviously as our guys got it for putting women's underwear on terrorists heads at Abu Grahib...

Of course some of those terrorists burned our troops alive or strung their burning bodies up on bridge abutments to entertain their children...who loved it!

[MEGoody]

Aggressive police making flippant remarks about teenagers' electrocution and a minister who talked of 'scum' are accused of inflaming the violence THE exchange could hardly have been worse for the French police as they strive to allay their reputation as enemy of the ethnic estates.

Aggressive police? Good grief. Funny, the cameras caught this stuff, but not the faces of the many violent rioters.

[tumblindice]

Guess I'm a just an American redneck: the French show signs of having `nads, and they catch hell.

"Disrespectful to the 'Religion of Peace'. Can you see we are serious?"

[dannyboy72]

I'm I the only one that sees this as a setup of the Media...these kids are on their very best behavior and they just happen to be caught on camera. Thousands of others are running around throwing fire bombs, but these kids are polite as a Sunday school girl? Sounds like a hit piece to me...and the Muslim Yutes were in on it! Typicaly MSM BS IMHO.

[dangus]

Trash talk? Yes. Racism? No.

[syriacus]

The French leaders were willing to allow the US to free white Frenchmen twice, but not willing to allow the US free the Iraqis even one time.
A Muslim in Iraq has more hope than a Muslim in France.
It's no coincidence that the riots in France began only 2 days after the Iraq constitution was officially validated.
