I see the head of the French police union says that his force isn’t racist.
For me, and I’ve said this for ages France is decades behind countries like us in this respect. We’re not perfect but they’ve kept the North and west Africans in their banlieues for decades. My Italian friend who lived in Paris and Bordeaux for 4 years said what was interesting is that when there’s a protest about eg pension reforms like recently, every single one of the protesters are white, simply because the others don’t have pensions. It’s so true.
The French police as we’ve seen at football matches are totally useless, the best example being the CL Final last year which could have easily turned into a multi death situation. A friend of mine was there and they said the police did nothing after the game, walking away, as the local mobs literally mugged and robbed almost every English fan with ease. They didn’t give a toss.
Their Home Secretary is pretending there’s not a problem, and deals with these riots by just sending more and more police in each night. The same guy who openly said the Liverpool fans were the problem from the start, turned up late and rioted only to have to retract his comments later.
I don’t condone the violence this week but this is decades of frustration by millions of suppressed people.
