#2 Amsterdam PD isn't as meeching as the French. Though they are normally extra friendly, if you are violent or vicious, the police will track you down and neutralize you.

#3 Amsterdam PD isn't as meeching as the French.

Not that I like much the police, which is politicized and often is very zealous in going after the rightwingers, but...

French police is known to crack heads when needed (doest Amsterdam PD have the equivalent of the french BAC, small teams of plainclothes policemen who go on "contact" with the Youths, tonfas & saps first?), and have no compulsion on not using deadly force when authorized to, though the Gign tends to try to avoid killing... but, appeasement is the word, and police is told "not to provoke".

It's a (deliberate) lack of will from the pols which spread down to the police hierarchy, not a supposed tradition of softness or restraint, just think about the parisian police's handling of commie and fln demonstrations during the algeria war. French Elites have decided than stamping down the drug industry managed by the Youths, and the violent sub culture of the "hoods" was too dangerous, and that the problem was now unmanageable, and the best was to leave them alone and keep the subsidies going their way to placate them. In 2005, the french police was very courageous and effective, in that the orders, as it is now known, were to avoid any casualties among the rioters to avoid a general uprising and agitation from the far left; so, the cops kept getting stoned, thrown molotov cocktails, sometimes shot at, and it went on and on, and they never reacted with "disproportionate force". For this, blame the pols, but kudos to the police for its discipline and professionalism.

#4 Plus, reading the kleinverzet blog and the updates, it's clear the reaction of the authorites is exactly the same as the french one.

Don't expect any kind of meaningful "Law & Order" response, much less an hypothetical "shoot to kill" policy, the authorities and the police will keep it under control, there will be some arrests, with the justice being very forgiving, and the eventual long term answer to that will be more appeasement, possibly somme arrangement with the local Holy Men to keep the Youths under control, and more money thrown at the hoods.

#5 t's clear the reaction of the authorites is exactly the same as the french one.

#6 For all the recriminations about Kent, after the Guard shot four, how many universities had ROTC buildings burned?

#8 Last night also Amterdam Police commissioner, Bernard Welten, was on Television. He told the Dutch public that he was afraid of Paris style riots in Amsterdam. Thus defending his policy of do nothing, because so he said: we need to keep the peace at all cost.

Other news today: This week Dutch parliamentary restaurant started serving halal meals. And in an other part of Amsterdam Moslem's protested to get a mosque from the state.

Hello this is exactly the same thing going on here with the Mexicans and Muzzies in Detroit. It's going to take a full revolution with wipe out both the political and islamic problems.

#9 Yeah, it worked well for the Islamics in France. Their boy Chirac finally got the boot and Sarkozy was elected. And I suspect that the elections will keep shifting right. At least the good immigrants, the ones who just want to get a job and live life, should hope so. That's the only thing that will prevent a war that they are not equipped to win.
