That is the line that really stood out to me. "The police should not have been there"????? Amazing!
That is one of the main points of this story. There are huge areas of France that the French no longer control, that the police cannot enter, and where Sharia law prevails, not French law. The French have lost part of their territory to Muslim immigrants. Charles Martel is spinning in his grave, along with all those Frenchmen who died in the Battle of Tours that stopped Islamic expansionism into Europe from Spain.
