Crisis talks over gang attacks on police

By Henry Samuel in Paris
(Filed: 17/10/2006)

The French government yesterday held crisis talks with community leaders in an effort to halt mounting violence in suburbs around Paris, amid news that gangs of youths, mainly of North African descent, were intensifying attacks on police.

Dominique de Villepin, the prime minister, ordered his interior and justice ministers to "toughen up" sentences for those found guilty of assaulting officers, following a meeting with community leaders.

His announcement followed a series of violent incidents over the past weeks, culminating in the ambush of three police officers on Friday by youths in Epinay-sur-Seine, north of Paris.

"These guys came to kill". They wore balaclavas, and had baseball bats and iron bars," said Joaquin Masanet, the general secretary of the powerful UNSA police union.

The three officers from the anti-crime brigade, BAC, entered the Orgemont housing estate after an anonymous caller reported a violent car theft.

Once inside, their exit was barred and they were set upon by around 50 youths, who pelted the men with stones. Iron bars smashed their windscreen. They tried to reverse, but a second vehicle boxed them in.

The criminals fled only after the officers fired live ammunition into the air and police reinforcements arrived.

One of the officers, Christophe Estève, 30, had two teeth knocked out and needed 30 stitches in his jaw. He was discharged from hospital yesterday.

Deport any Muslim who attacks a police officer. Why not?

Maybe if they issued a "shoot to kill" order, this might stop.

What about shoot to kill as starters. Plus, if muslims strike back, let the police bone up on how Dracula the impaler handled the muslim hordes. Next, ship the survivors back to North Africa, even those born in France.

Why not?

Because they should be guillotined.

That's why not.

"Deport any Muslim who attacks a police officer. Why not?"

Because it's an incomplete measure. It doesn't include deporting the rest.

If they intend to end it the police need to stop wasting ammo into the air.

Uh...shoot them? A fellow taking an iron bar to a police officer would find himself ventilated around here. That may be why nobody does.

Ohhhhhh!!! Those mean Muslims.

Didn't the frogs ever hear abouit guns? They can be used for other things than signaling surrender.

The French like all the other Europeans, should use firearms to deal with violent Muslims, and deport the rest while there is still time.

The Frogs are making the same mistake Bubba Clinton made as President. He wanted to handle war criminals as thought they were just breaking the law. this isnt a civilian criminal problem. The Frogs are at war and should treat it as such. bring in the miliotaryand shoot these war crimionals down in the street. A few hand grenades in their midst wil break it up. If treating them this way escalates the problem, so be it. Better now than when they grow stronger. If they wish a war, give them one. Stop farting around with these people you are truly at war.

When it starts here the police will have a big problem stopping the citizenry from taking a hand and leaving dead Muslims all over the street.

France should not do anything unilaterally. This needs to be taken to the UN Security Council. Maybe they can have a vote on sanctions. Gees, no wonder they cannot react with realism on the world stage. They're becoming a nation with a state within a state, like Lebanon. This is the nation the Democrats demand we allow to lead us on matters big and small.
