France suspends 8 police officers for beating youth
2005-11-10
PARIS, Nov 10 (Reuters) - France has suspended eight police officers after two of them beat a young man they had detained during rioting in a suburb north of Paris and the other six looked on, the Interior Ministry said on Thursday.
That'll motivate the rest to stick their necks out and defend you next time, yessiree.
A police inquiry showed the wel deserved beating took place on Monday in Seine-Saint-Denis, a combat zone a ghetto a slum the area north of Paris where the accidental electrocution of two youths apparently fleeing police triggered the unrest, the ministry said in a statement.

The youth allegedly beaten by police had been detained "in the context of the recent urban violence". He suffered superficial injuries to the forehead and foot, the ministry said.
Sounds like he tripped. Were his shoes tied?
President Jacques Chirac swiftly called earlier on Thursday for a swift response to problems faced by residents of riot-torn suburbs, many of whom are of North African and African origin.
Bring in more cake for zem to eat.
But a police chief said he feared the rioters were planning violent protests in central Paris. Many youngsters in the Paris suburbs say heavy-handed police tactics provoke violence, although Chirac has praised the police handling of the unrest.

Chirac has vowed to restore public order and his conservative government has imposed rarely used emergency laws so that riot-torn areas can be placed under curfew.

The violence in urban areas has eased following the shortage of empty bottles in the banlieus adoption of the emergency powers aimed at halting the two weeks' of unrest over racism, poverty and unemployment.

Thats right dont want to give any impression of fighting back.

Why that is just SOOOO primitave not enlightened like the all mighty PC, LLL, Peace-love&-happiness elites and advanced cough progressive's like the French.

The sad thing is we have the same problem right here we are just a little less infiltrated and we have a larger portion of hard nuts.

Le Pien who everyone claims is radical right (which in France is probably left of me but who knows they do have some Faciast freeks left) but anyway his idea of deporting all who dont "love France" and all who dont support france. Slogan is "love France or leave France" now this is my kind of guy. Maybe radical maybe even faciast but I like at least this part I have always believed that citizenship should be earned. If you dont love your nation and support it along with doing what you can to merge into it not change it to fit what your personal ways are you dont have no buisness in that nation your just a inflitrator at best outright enemy at worse.
