The French government said Sunday that hundreds more had been arrested in a fifth night of rioting sparked by the police killing of a 17-year-old, as police deployed reinforcements to flashpoint cities around the country.
Protesters, mostly minors, have torched cars, damaged infrastructure and clashed with police in an outpouring of rage since an officer shot Nahel M. point blank as he attempted to flee a traffic stop on Tuesday.
The killing was captured on video, which spread on social media and fueled anger over police violence against minorities, exposing severe racial tensions in France.
A day after Nahel was laid to rest in his home town near Paris, the interior ministry said police had made 719 arrests overnight — still a provisional tally — after around 1,300 the previous night.
Some 45 police officers or gendarmes were injured, 577 vehicles torched, 74 buildings set on fire and 871 fires set in streets and other public spaces, it said.

Also, the riots are already spreading. I wonder how much of this the U.S. is funding and promoting?

Make France French Again.
They only need like 100 police with orders to open fire.

For those who don’t have time (or tolerance) for the Mothers:
Wednesday I watched the riot, I seen the cops out on the street
Watched ‘em throwin’ rocks and stuff and chokin’ in the heat
Listened to reports about the whisky passin’ ‘round
Seen the smoke and fire and the market burnin’ down
Watched while everybody on his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust and burn
And I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ‘em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay that trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay that trouble comin’ every day
Well, you can cool it you can heat it
‘Cause, baby, I don’t need it
Take your TV tube and eat it
Good reach, I have that LP on vinyl too.
I thought events like this were officially called Peaceful Protests? what gives?
Such violence is not at all new to France. Recall the events of January 7, 2015.

Something about the editors and staff of that satire magazine failing to have “respect” for the Muslims that even then were swarming France and creating “no-go” zones for the French police.
Islamic “Honor” is such a doubtful thing.
“Such violence is not at all new to France.”
No, it is certainly not. The yellow-vest protests have been going on for some time now. However, I have a feeling the current “protests turns violent” is going to escalate further than what we have seen in the recent past.
Freedom Fries, baby🐷✌️🤡
They should be deploying cruise ships to take 100,000 of these scumbags back to Africa
Keep on with your collectin’
So when the Feds come in detectin’
That you were recollectin’
from the days
before infectin’ by the censorship police
you had music
from the days before electin’
all things internet under their control
Someday song vendors online will say the new Middle Eastern corporation that took over Sony and the others and Spotify and itunes, will no longer allow female singers who do not dress modestly and wear hijabs or males who imply non Islamic allegiance and freedom of speech.
This has well past a protest - it’s obviously being stirred up as w generally se in protests thes days. They are always taken over by violnt and dangerous groups with no regard for anything but destruction.
They should treat this as combat against an invading army.
Frank Zappa and the Mother’s had the best place in town.
Some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground.
There was smoke on the water
Arrest them all and feed them pork while they are in custody.
Ammo is cheap.
What’s happening in France should give many Western leaders pause, but I doubt if it will in most cases. But look at what’s happening after ONE recent death involving a minority from the migrant community and the police.
A fifth day of nationwide rioting and arson and looting and widescale destruction of property, and confrontations with the police. How many other nations have migrant communities that near the explosion point?
Exactly. Not a lot of good done if they’re only there to pick lint from their belly buttons.
Absent lethal force, all the cops in the world aren’t going to stop the feral muzz invaders.
