"Violence in the surburb questions Suburb's Police's efficiency"
Pardon my english.
Who are the kidding? Theose people are torching cars throughout the Paris region, while every politician tries to get most political capital out of the situation. The BBC talks about "riots", not "echaufourre" [incidents]. French newspaper have problem: they don't even expect the government to behave in any other way that it is right now. As jerome says, nothing good is too be expected of them. Problem is, it may be so until 2012 if the Duke of Sarko is elected. Rien n'est gratuit en ce bas monde.

But in 2002, Sarkozy cut funding for Seine Saint Denis to send police to Western Paris (i.e. the posh suburbs) which already had more policer per inhabitant and lower crime rates...

"Les violences dans les banlieues relancent le débat sur la police de proximité" "Violence in the surburb questions Suburb's Police's efficiency"
"Violent incidents in the suburbs reignite the debate on proximity police." tens of millions of people stand to see their lives ruined because the bureaucrats at the ECB don't understand introductory economics -- Dean Baker
The french newspaper Liberation now uses the word "emeutes"[riots]. I still think that in France the importance of what has happened will be downplayed. First on the problems themselves, as no one will dare tell the extent of the violence that has spread. Second, on why the current administration can't focus on problems at hand; they will not face to failure of politics as a job for the french elite. Politics in France are a way to make a living: while at some point it was believed to be a good things [remnants of the french aristocracy?] it may be time to question the permanent conflict of interest that this conception creates Rien n'est gratuit en ce bas monde.
