France riots: Why are police using guns during traffic stops?
BBC News ^ | June 30, 2023

The fatal shooting by police of a 17-year-old boy driving a car in a Paris suburb is the latest in a spate of such deadly incidents in France.

It was the third killing this year during a police traffic stop and followed a record 13 deaths last year.

Most of the victims have been of black or Arab origin, Reuters news agency reports.

What is the legal basis for firing during a traffic stop? By law French police are allowed to shoot in five instances following a 2017 change in the law.

That includes when the driver or occupants of a vehicle ignore an order to stop and are deemed to pose a risk to the officer's life or physical safety, or other people's.

Obviously, the reporter has no knowledge of French “no go zones” where even the police fear for their life because of ethnic neighborhoods where tribal control and justice are.

Do I suspect that this was a serious mistake by the police? Probably. I was in France earlier this year, during riots, protests, and unrest. France has a thing for rebellion.

This time of year all French are thinking of Bastille Day, so rebellion against the government is kind of a national celebration.

Those rules do not apply to a civilizational jihad invasion.
Once they’re done, they’ll invoke their rules for the french Muslims and their overlords to bow down to.

She’s well done, the “intellectuals” just don’t see it.

France is the new leading edge.

I don’t think pussyfooting around will resolve anything.

I have friends who live in France. She said the 17 year old who was shot had a long criminal record and was a gang member.

The majority of the rioters are migrants from North Africa and muslims. They are not simply rioting against the police. They are looting stores (sound familiar?).

One of her friends is pregnant and was raped by muzzie migrants. Two of her nieces were also raped my muzzie migrants.

This is a culture war and France will lose if they don’t get serious about defending themselves.
