On a routine call, three unwitting police officers fell into a trap. A car darted out to block their path, and dozens of hooded youths surged out of the darkness to attack them with stones, bats and tear gas before fleeing. One officer was hospitalized, and no arrests made. The recent ambush was emblematic of what some officers say has become a near-perpetual and increasingly violent conflict between police and gangs in tough, largely immigrant French neighborhoods that were the scene of a three-week paroxysm of rioting last year.

There is a certain point at which, logically and scientifically speaking, one is inexorably led to the conclusion that they just enjoy throwing rocks at and maiming non-Muslims.

To all

What the French need to do is recall a Foreign Legionnaire unit from its overseas posting and then use the police to seal the area off from reporters.

Soon all will be well.
