#1 He added: "We need armoured vehicles and water cannon. They are the only things that can disperse crowds of hundreds of people who are trying to kill police and burn their vehicles."

Okay, it's horrible, but I'm gonna say it anyway. They need bullets. They need one guy to take out a bunch of rioters and then turn himself in French law. This will (a) show the rioters that force begats force and that someone will fight back (b) show everyone that French law works as they prosecute the guy (c) Show the Islamist masses how popular this guy becomes with the people of France at a time when they are considering upping the heat.

#2 No, they just need to respond to violence with grapeshot. Under orders.

You can bet there are French laws allowing the use of lethal force to deal with insurrection. They should be applied.

#4 I believe the renowned Corsican Frenchman Napoleon had a solution for this: a whiff of grapeshot. The should shoot early, often, and to kill.

#5 Thanks for this post, NS. This shows the situation is much more dire than we in US realize. If the French don't back police use of heavy force, they'll be fighting for themselves(or surrendering). This should already have elevated past police action, to the military. It is very common here to immediately get our National Guard into the streets when serious riots occur. The thought of armed troops in the area usually causes the thugs to think much more carefully about their actions. Someone nearby who has an M16 and knows how to shoot, can do a lot of damage in a very short time. Punks know that and respond accordingly.

#6 I actually think the most remarkable thing about this piece is the comment of Thoomis. I don't know how widely his comment is reported in France (A5089, JFM?), or if he has been saying it for some time, but it is interesting how it follows the Pope's comments, at least into English. I suspect one of the Pope's intents in making them was to release the debate within Europe from the bonds of PC control and this is an early example. I read that as good news, actually.

#7 Maybe instead of talking about it the French should just get the water cannons out next time this happens, and go for a full scale attack. Then retreat claiming that the area has been taken over by gangs, this allows the military to be brought in as the police were 'overwhelmed' and 'couldn't cope' this would be a legal enough way to deal with the situation.

#8 "Undeclared" intifada? It's been planned, an ongoing, for years -- just because an official spokesman has gone on national television to formally declare it in a way that those who choose not to know can no longer deny doesn't make it "undeclared". This overly punctilious PC attitude has been getting people killed over there!

#9 

A sane man -> Michel Thoomis said yesterday: "We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their 'comrades' free when they are arrested."

He added: "We need armoured vehicles and water cannon. They are the only things that can disperse crowds of hundreds of people who are trying to kill police and burn their vehicles."

However a Phrench poop feathered chicken said-> Gerard Demarcq, of the largest police unions, Alliance, dismissed talk of an "intifada" as representing the views of only a minority.

Phrench poop feathered chicken Demarcq said that the increased attacks on officers were proof that the policy of "retaking territory" from criminal gangs was working.

Additional poop feathered Mayors in the worst affected suburbs, which saw weeks of riots and car-burning a year ago, have expressed fears of a vicious circle, as attacks by locals lead the police to harden their tactics, further increasing resentment.

As if to prove the poop point, there were angry reactions in the western Paris suburb of Les Mureaux following dawn raids in search of youths who attacked a police unit on Sunday. The raids led to one arrest. They followed clashes on Sunday night when scores of youths attacked seven officers who had tried to arrest a man for not wearing his seat belt while driving. That driver refused to stop, and later rammed a police car trying to block his path.

The poop feathered mayor of Les Mureaux, Francois Garay, criticised aggressive police tactics that afterwards left "the people on the ground to pick up the pieces".

He represents the right-wing, anti-system police union Action Police CFTC, he gets zero msm coverage, excepted when a press agency quotes him; only media where this union is present is the conservative-rightwing-catholic-libertarian free radio, Radio-Courtoisie; the others police unions are socialist-leaning like Alliance, or close to the power like Synergie.

#16 It's going to take a full-scale combined ops organized raid to get this back under control. They should be surrounding one or two tower blocks at night, going from apartment to apartment to check the papers of each family. Anyone who isn't in France legally is in the deportation system pipeline out of the country before morning. Anyone who has an outstanding warrant goes straight to jail. Anyone who resists is shot. The French know how to do this. Paul Aussaresses, Jacques Massu and Roger Trinquier worked the Casbah in Algiers in exactly this way and broke the FLN in the city for the remainder of French rule. Aussaresses is still alive. I'm sure he'd be happy to advise.
