The motorist deserved to be pursued, and asked for the fate he received. The police are not to blame because they were only doing their job - protecting the public peace. As for the rioters, they should not expect the government to demonstrate a willingness to "understand" by letting them commit crimes without consequent punishment - this is foolish and such an attitude will only bring more disappointment. If these youths have someone to complain about, it is their own parents who brought them to or birthed them in France with the expectation that France would give them everything they wanted. Law-abiding immigrants are dignified and should be respected, but they should not expect to be handed an easy life - almost no one in France has that. Illegal-entries and otherwise criminal immigrants should simply be deported to their countries or parents' countries of origin - no exceptions. They would then at least be useful as a good example of what not to do while in France.
They might not feel at home, that's another problem. The thing is rather simple: the young man who died was asked to pull off the street by the police. The fact he didn't comply started the pursue and he had an accident. What else is there ? Why are people reacting ? what is wrong in that ? The law is such that the police is the authority and if he didn't have any thing to fear, if he hadn't done anything wrong, then why run away ? That's a suspicious behavior and of course the police had to chase him, to know what was wrong...
running away when innocent is sheer stupidity. So yes it's a sad way to die but it's an accident. I don't find it normal that this accident is being further investigated because the victim comes from the suburbs. The law is the same for everyone and it's not to be discussed.
Am I dreaming or does this only happen in France? I've been in some other european countries and I have friends that live there but this conflict police/young ( suburbians,not so rich, blacks/arabs) never disapear!
I've been in france a couple of years and the young just feel misunderstood. There is such a strong hatred towards the police, I've never seen that.
People have to notice that these youngs in the " conflit" are those whose parents come from other countries ( colonised countries, Algeria, Senegal, Cameroun, Tunisia). They dont feel french and they are lost.
They dont feel home in their own countrw, where they were born, where they live.
The conflict will always remain as long as the government doesnt take serious actions!!
