Paris Burning

Posted by Matt in June 23rd, 2008

Paris is a city divided. Tensions between police, immigrants and ethnic minorities in deprived ghettos have erupted in riots. David Brill investigates the social and racial fault lines of Paris.
The residents of Paris’ outer-suburb ghettos feel angry and disillusioned by a seemingly indifferent government. With unemployment at 40% in these areas, resentment runs deep. Sarkozy, who dubbed these residents as “scum” in 2005, has become a hate figure. Suspicion of police is also rife, particularly after two boys died while running from police in the 2005 riots. Samir, a father of two, says; “at the smallest disturbance they send in 50 busloads of riot police, blockade the whole neighbourhood and harass everyone. I can’t imagine my girls growing up here.” Racism is another ongoing problem. One resident states; “I am French but look at my skin. It means I can never feel French.”

France riots erupt
Groups of French youths threw rocks and bottles at police in a Paris suburb Sunday night in violence that left 21 police officers injured, and a number of cars and stores vandalized. - The clashes erupted after two teenagers were killed in a motorcycle crash with a police car, reminiscent of the tensions that drove countrywide riots in immigrant-heavy housing projects in 2005. Those riots were described as the worst civil unrest in France in more than 40 years. - Sunday's violence occurred in Villiers-le-Bel, a town of public housing blocks that is home to Arab, black and white residents, just a few kilometres north of the French capital. - A 15-year-old and 16-year-old were killed after the motorcycle they were on crashed into a patrol car. Police said the teens ignored traffic...

CPE Paris Riots - Sorbonne Riot Police Attacks
The riot police were at the door under the students at the window. They stoped people from forcing the doors. But as time went by more and more police came. First they came from the north near the Place de la Sorbonne, and then from the behind, where the Rue Victor Cousin connects to the road near Bld St. Michelle. I filmed it a bit but then a group of riot police came near the crowd and looked like they were going to try to ram them. The students on the balcony were telling the students on the road to disperse because of the police. The students on the road didnt, and instead formed a human sheild against the police. I backed off and managed to get behind the police so as not to get beaten up when the crowd got rammed. As a result I dont have any good footage of the raid, but there was a...
