Update on French Riots

 Reports out of France seem to indicate that there was a slight decrease in the rioting in French cities, but it is still going on as of Saturday night. 

During the day, the young Algerian killed by police was buried.

Rioting has also reportedly broken out in Brussels, Belgium and Lausanne, Switzerland.

Probably the worst example of violence occurred in Marseille Thursday night when two police officers in civilian clothes while driving ran into a street blocked by fires and were recognized as police by some in the crowd. The officers were badly beaten by several Arab men, a part of which was videotaped and put onto social media, probably by someone in the mob. It shows one of the victims lying unconscious in the street while members of the mob scream abuse at him and videotape him. The video can be viewed at RAIR Foundation USA with a viewer warning. It is shocking.

As I have previously written, the circumstances surrounding the police shooting of the young man identified only as Nahel M. are troubling, but even though there is a video, we don't have all the details yet. Whatever the final verdict on that may be, there is no justification for what has occurred in French cities since Tuesday. This is hardly the first such riot in France or in other European countries,. It has been going on for years now, coupled with Islamic terrorist attacks, murders, attacks on Christian churches, assaults on Jews, rapes, and drug trafficking.

I am fully aware that France, thanks to its colonialist past, is now home to millions of people from many of those former colonies in Asia, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Caribbean. Many have put down roots in France and they should not all be considered criminals. But there is no denying that there are millions of disaffected immigrant youth in France to say nothing of all the new arrivals who pour into Europe every day. A large part of France's problem consists of Maghrebians from North Africa, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, all former colonies. I stress again that there are many who are innocent, who have integrated, and who cause no harm. That said, the situation in France is intolerable, and will not be fixed in my view. It should also be mentioned that you don't see France's Asian immigrants doing this. Where are the Vietnamese riots, the Cambodian riots, and the Laotian riots? Much of this is Islamist-driven, and France, like most of Western Europe, must make a choice. Either surrender to the Islamists and the mobs or fight. The police are already fighting, but as we have noted, they are not getting support from the government. 

In a democracy, there should be a legal and peaceful way to fix problems by voting out bad or corrupt politicians and bringing in new politicians who want to fight through the legislature, the courts, and using police to arrest the troublemakers. That must include deporting criminals who do not have French citizenship-which many of the rioters probably possess.

I have read that Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia consider their diaspora in Europe as their own citizens. I say let them take back their troublemakers (which they generally do not, as evidenced by the Dutch problems in sending members of the notorious Moroccan Mafia back to their home country. Morocco does not want to take them back.) Unfortunately for France, we are talking about millions of people that should be sent packing.

At what point do the French people say, "Enough is enough"?  Many are now talking about the real possibility that the country could fall into civil war. It should be noted here that gun laws in France are very restrictive. It appears that the obvious result is that aside from the police and the army, only the criminals have guns. So at this point, it is up to the police. And as we see, it is they who are on the front lines of this very real war. They are the ones taking the abuse, the assaults, the beatings, and putting their lives on the line to protect people and property. Even if we assume that the Tuesday shooting was unjustified, that should not mean that thousands of French cops should have to face this abuse and danger. Especially when they are not backed by the government.

French President Emmanuel Macron has made inopportune statements basically convicting the officer in question. Then on Wednesday night, as Paris was burning, he took his wife to see an Elton John concert! He is a disgrace. He is a younger version of Joe Biden.

The obvious lesson is you don't turn your country over to the uncivilized elements of society.

UC Berkeley Law and Affirmative Action

Erwin Chemerinsky

Erwin Chemerinsky is the dean of the UC Berkeley Law School. Both have been featured often on this site. Today, Dean Chemerinsky is back in the news, at least for Breitbart because I don't think the mainstream news is going to cover this much. Someone in the audience at UCB videotaped Chemerinksy on the day of the Supreme Court's historic decision regarding college admissions. In this instance, Chemerinsky was explaining to his audience how the law school handles the issue of diversity hiring. They just don't say anything or put anything on paper. They just vote for the minority candidate. As the tape ends, Chemerinksy is going on to explain how this is much harder when it comes to student admissions because there are statistical records........

In the video, Chemerinsky tells the audience that if he is ever deposed, he will deny saying this. 

The video can be accessed here on Breitbart. The article is written by Alana Mastrangelo. The video appears on a tweet by Christopher F. Rufo. I do not know if he was the one recording.

I'm going to try and be fair here to Dean Chemerinsky. The video clip is short, and the dean may want to argue that he is taken out of context, and that only the full video of his talk would be appropriate. Perhaps. Nor am I arguing the truth of what he said.

Mr Chemerinsky is a well-known law professor, dean of the UC Berkeley Law School, and previously the dean of the UC Irvine Law School. He certainly doesn't need my legal advice, but I will give it anyway. Dean Chemerinsky, if you are ever deposed, I am certain that you will not deny ever saying those words.

France: The Police Unions Speak out

 In the wake of rioting all over France, two major police unions have issued a joint press release that is chilling and is making news in France. The police are demanding that the government support them and crack down on the rioters, describing it as a war. The letter also implies that if the government does not support them, they may turn to resistance against the government.

The below statement is translated by Fousesquawk.

Press Release   Paris, June 30, 2023

Enough now.....

Faced with these savage hordes, asking for calm is not sufficient. It must be imposed!

To establish republican order and make arrests at the time of the (offense) are the only political signals to give.

Faced with these abuses, the police family must be in solidarity.

Our colleagues,  like the majority of citizens, can no longer be subjected to the dictates of these violent minorities.

Now is not the time for union action, but to fight against these "pests". To submit, to capitulate, and make them happy by laying down our arms are not the solutions in regard to the gravity of the situation.

All means must be put in place to reinstall the rule of law as quickly as possible.

Once this (dies down), we already know that we will see this shit we are enduring again.

For these reasons, the National Police Alliance and UNSA Police will assume their responsibilities and warn those in the government that in the end, we will take action, and without concrete measures of judicial protection for the police, appropriate penal response, (and) significant resources provided,  police officers will judge the level of consideration given.

Today the police are in combat because we are at war.

Tomorrow we will be in resistance, and the government should realize this.

France: Police Threatened With Death

Hat tip RAIR Foundation USA, Vlad Tepes, and Gates of Vienna. Translation by He Ha and Fousesquawk.

 

As riots rock France over the police shooting death of a 17-year-old of Algerian background, one protester made these chilling statmnents which were captured on video yesterday. In his rant, he threatened to kill police because in his words, "It is written in the Koran: Whoever kills you, we have the right to kill him." Naturally, there were the obligatory cries of "Allahu akhbar".

France: The Police Shooting

France Bleu

As riots in immigrant communities rage in cities across France since the police shooting of a 17-year-old youth of Algerian background on Tuesday, I have been thinking a lot about the incident, not just because it has led to riots across the country, but because it recalls an incident I was involved in decades ago as a DEA agent in Los Angeles. The circumstances were almost the same.

We had just arrived at the home of a heroin dealer we were going to arrest. We knew that he was violent and was a user of PCP. As we were walking up to his house, we saw that he was pulling his car out of his driveway. It was late at night, and one of our agents pretended to stagger drunkenly onto the street and the driver stopped. At that point, he pulled out his badge as we all approached the car with the intent to pull the suspect out of the car. At that point, the suspect briefly accelerated and braked a couple of times, knocking the first agent out from in front of the car. He actually struck the agent twice. 

Did this justify shooting the suspect at this point? Would it have been justified?

As it was, the first agent then shot at the left front tire in an effort to flatten the tire as the vehicle took off  He only succeeded in putting a hole in his hubcap. At this moment, I was just feet away from the driver's side window and had a clear shot.  I decided not to fire, partly because I saw a potential crossfire situation if one of my partners were to make a sudden move to his right and into my line of fire. Looking back, maybe I didn't think that the threshold for discharging my weapon had really been met. But I was very close to firing.

To make a long story short, no other shots were fired, a long car chase ensued before the suspect crashed on the side of the road and he was arrested. To this day, I thank God that I did not fire. Would it have been ruled justified, or would I have been prosecuted? I don't really know the answer to this day. Merely shooting at a fleeing felon is not an option for US federal agents unless the person fleeing poses a danger to the agents or others. An example would be a running gunfight. I was involved in one of those as well, but that is another story.

As I watch the French video, I see a similar situation. One officer is at the driver's side window, I assume talking to the driver. The other officer is leaning astride the left side of the hood with his weapon pointed at the driver. Someone is heard to say, "You are going to get a bullet in the head." Was this one of the cops? If so, is it ever permissible to say that to a suspect? If it that instant, the situation has become so dangerous, the answer in my view would be yes. There are many ways to warn a suspect that you are prepared to shoot, and at times, in the heat of the moment, the language isn't always so delicate.

It appears from the video that the second officer was forced off the left side of the hood by the acceleration of the suspect's vehicle. At that point, one of the officers fired a round into the chest of the driver as the vehicle was taking off.

At this point, I should mention that French law governing the use of deadly force by police may be different than American law. Many suspects have been shot by police in the US as they tried to run down an officer with their car-a deadly weapon. When that happens, the incident is closely analyzed, and when video is available, examined frame by frame. The key point under American law is whether the officer(s) felt that his/her life or that of another was in imminent danger. In some cases, it is clear. In other cases, not so much.

Different people may come to different conclusions as to whether the French cop leaning on the hood of the car was in imminent danger. That is the officer's version of the incident. While my natural inclination is to support the cops, I have to say this video does not look good from the police point of view. That said, the video does not show what or who might have been in the path of the car just ahead as it took off. (It crashed several dozen meters down the street.) We don't know what the cops saw in the car or everything that was said between the parties. If it turns out that the aforementioned statement was actually uttered by the driver, that would add an additional element to be considered. I also wonder what prompted the officer to point his weapon at the suspect just before he drove off. It should also be kept in mind that French police are operating in a very dangerous environment these days, and they are surely in a heightened state of awareness when confronting certain suspects in certain areas of the city. This particular young man had rather long history with the law for a 17-year-old.

Aside from the obvious societal issue involved (the riots and unrest in France's immigrant/Muslim community), there is a murder investigation to be resolved, and it will be closely watched. The officer has been charged with intentional homicide and placed into custody. The statements of President Emmanuel Macron do not help. Macron has basically convicted the cop in his initial reaction to the case.

So now France is facing a major investigation and possibly trial, which would be carried out under the greatest pressure. If the cop is not convicted and jailed for a long time, the cities will once again explode. While I am not ready to positively condemn or exonerate the actions of the officer, I would hate to see him convicted in a political trial just for the benefit of the mobs who would otherwise set France's cities on fire once again.  The fate of the officer should be determined only by the facts of the case.

The US Supreme Court Decision-Why It's Right

This article first appeared in New English Review.

This week, the US Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision along conservative-liberal lines, ruled that race-based college admissions are unconstitutional. The lawsuit was brought specifically against Harvard and the University of North Carolina, both of which had been using race as a factor to determine admissions.

Amid the outcry from the left, one fact is being largely overlooked. This lawsuit was not just about ending discrimination against white prospective students in favor of black and Hispanic ones, it was largely protecting the rights of Asian-American students, who were also being discriminated against.

It is hardly a secret that our Asian-American students generally excel academically, so much so that in many universities, most notably in California, they make up almost 50% of the student body. Indeed, in the years I was teaching part-time at the University of California at Irvine (1998-2016), they made up just over 50%.  I am sure somewhat similar numbers can be found in most of the UC campuses up and down the state. 

Why is it that Asian-American kids are doing so well? A big part of it is cultural. Asian-American families, whatever their generation, come from backgrounds in countries where education is greatly respected and valued. Parents tend to be involved in the schooling of their children. They make sure the homework is done and do the necessary interaction with the school. When I was getting my masters in Social Foundations of Education (University of Virginia) in the 1990s, much of our study was examining the educational systems in Japan, China, Korea, and other Asian lands as possible examples to improve our own. 

If these commitments to their children's education in Asian-American families are not matched in black and Hispanic families, it must be admitted that white families don't measure up either. Rather than be envious of Asian-American educational accomplishments, we should all be trying to keep up with them. Instead, while most Asian-American students are hitting the books in real fields of study, the rest of us-including white students- are learning all about identity politics and gender/sexuality issues. 

Naturally, of course, the response of academia has been to quietly attempt to reduce the number of Asian-American students in order to increase that of other minorities. That constitutes discrimination. It is a fact that many academics have bemoaned the fact that Asian-Americans are overrepresented in the student body.

It is laudable that universities want to increase black and Hispanic enrollment, but it should not come at the expense of another minority group-or anyone, for that matter, who qualifies to get into college.

We are living in a time when Asians and Asian-Americans in the US are facing increasing hostility and increasing hate crimes based on who they are. In my own experiences with Asian-Americans (mostly Japanese Americans) in Southern California, I have often noted they are uncomfortable with the term, "model minority", which has long been attached to them. Obviously, they don't want to be pitted against other minorities. Unfortunately, that is what is happening.

But does this ruling mean the end of educational opportunities for deserving black and Hispanic Kids? Of course not. The secret to academic success is the same for all-study hard and stay out of trouble in and out of school. It is in the interest of all of us that the black and Hispanic numbers increase on campus. But doing it artificially helps nobody, including kids who are not prepared to succeed in college. Preparing them for college begins in the secondary schools. Can anyone seriously argue that school districts in places like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles-just to name a few- are doing a good job? I myself came out of the LA Unified School District at a time when my own high school was ranked number 2 in the nation. Not anymore.  The LAUSD has been a failure for decades. They cannot even produce high school graduates with competent math and reading skills let alone successful college students. And that includes a lot of white kids as well.

Hopefully, this ruling will help nudge universities away from artificial diversity statistics in favor of finding real solutions to improving education at all levels for underrepresented minorities.

Urban violence in Nanterre after the death of a minor killed by a police shot

Posted June 28, 2023 at 00:27, updated June 28, 2023 at 09:34

Incidents have occurred Tuesday evening in Nanterre, a Parisian suburb, after the death of a young driver during his detention by police. Police sources claimed that the vehicle had run into the police, but a video shows one of the two police officers involved holding the driver at gunpoint and firing point blank when the vehicle restarts. President Macron expressed his emotion, spoke to the family, and restated the need for justice to do its job.

Violence has punctuated the evening and a part of the night of Tuesday, 27th to Wednesday 28th June in Nanterre after the death of a young motorist, aged 17, killed because of a refusal to comply by a police officer who has been placed in custody.

The tragedy, which has revived the controversy over the response of police in these situations, occurred Tuesday morning near the RER Nanterre Prefecture station in the Parisian suburb.

Initially, police sources stated that a vehicle had run into two motorcycle policemen. But a video circulating on social media, authenticated by Agence France Presse (AFP), showed that one of the two police officers had the driver at gunpoint, then fired point blank when the vehicle restarted.

In the video, you hear, "You're going to get a bullet in the head," without being able to attribute this phrase to anyone in particular. The vehicle ended up embedded in a post dozens of meters further on. The victim, Nahel M., 17, died shortly after being shot in the chest.

The death of the adolescent and its circumstances have aroused emotion and anger in Nanterre, a residential town west of Paris where he lived. In the beginning of the evening, tensions broke out between the inhabitants and police in the Vieux-Pont quarter, reporters from AFP reported.

Emmanuel Macron expressed his emotion 

Emmanuel Macron expressed his emotion Wednesday in the Council of Ministers after the death of the adolescent, government spokesman Olivier Veran stated, who also called for an "appeal for calm" after the urban violence in Nanterre and its surroundings.

The president of the Republic "expressed his emotion after the death of the 17-year-old youth, he, obviously spoke of the family, friends, the French people," stated the government spokesperson at the conclusion of the Council of Ministers. The head of state also expressed the"need for answers" and the need "for justice to do its work." 

"We understand the desire for answers, and we want them to be provided in complete transparency as the elements become known," stated Olivier Veran, "appealing, obviously, for calm in this very particular situation full of emotion."

Questioned multiple times, especially as to the demand from the left to review the 2017 law regarding refusal to comply, Olivier Veran refused "to open whatever debate there may be". " We really need measure," he noted, refusing to "participate in this recovery movement". "We are not in a political moment, we are in a time of emotion and in a time of investigation," he continued.

Twenty arrests

Twenty persons have been arrested, according to a report from the Haut-de-Seine prefecture around 3 am. The departmental prefecture reported "sporadic movements" in several quarters, adding that "incidents" continued, even if their intensity decreased.

Several fires illuminated the streets of the municipality of Pablo Picasso, where a car was burned, according to Agence France Presse at the scene. Police tried to disperse small groups of rioters with tear gas.

If the prefecture of police assured that the situation was "contained" shortly before midnight, tensions continued, spreading to other municipalities of the Paris region. The same source also reported "very sporadic incidents" in Asnieres, Colombes, Suresnes (Haut-de-Seine), Clichy-sous-Bois (Seine Saint-Denis), and Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines).

In Nanterre, some fireworks were thrown in the proximity of the prefecture. A fire broke out in the Music Academy, where the firefighters quickly intervened. Fires were lit along the RER A (public rail) tracks between Nanterre and Rueil-Malmaison, several cars were set on fire, as well as trash containers, and bus stops were destroyed. Protesters set up some barricades, 

After the death of Nahel M., an investigation was opened for refusal to comply and attempted intentional homicide of a public official. Another investigation, opened for intentional homicide by a public official, was assigned to the IGPN (General Inspectorate of Police), internal affairs.

The officer suspected of the fatal shot, age 38, was placed in custody for intentional homicide. 

Two complaints

The lawyer for the victim's family, Attorney Yassine Bouzrou, has announced two complaints "in the coming days". One will target the shooter for intentional homicide and his colleague for complicity. A second complaint, for a false official document, will be filed against the police," who claimed that the young man had tried to commit homicide against them by trying to run them down, which is formally refuted by viewing the video," the lawyer announced.

Two other persons were in the vehicle at the time of the incident. A first passenger fled while the second, also a minor, was arrested and placed in custody. The latter (was released) early in the afternoon.

Some 40 people briefly gathered early in the afternoon near the site of the tragedy, tears in their eyes, to share their "anger". "It is so sad, he was so young. I saw him born," sighed Samia Bough, 62, a former neighbor of the adolescent, who came to lay a bouquet of yellow roses.

The victim was already known to the courts, notably for refusing to comply.

The mayor (DVG) of Nanterre, Patrick Jarry, said he was "shocked" by the video of the tragedy, which has been much commented on by the left.

"The death penalty doesn't exist anymore in France. No police officer has the right to kill except in legitimate self-defense," wrote on Twitter the leader of La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Melenchon, stating that the police must be "entirely reconstituted."

In the National Assembly, Interior Minister, Gerald Darmanin, spoke of "extremely shocking" images.

"May justice worthy of its name honor the memory of this child," tweeted actor Omar Sy.

In 2022, 13 deaths were recorded after a refusal to comply during routine checks, a record.

Some 2,000 police officers and Gendarmes will be mobilized Wednesday evening in the Parisian suburbs, particularly in Hauts-de-Seine, to prevent new urban violence in reaction to the death of a young motorist killed Tuesday in Nanterre by police, announced Gerald Darmanin.

*Update: Riots are continuing in several French cities Thursday night. This is the third consecutive night of rioting.

Swedish Embassy in Baghdad Stormed by Mob

-Daily Mail (UK)

Yesterday, we reported on the latest Koran burning in Sweden, this time outside a Stockholm mosque by an Iraqi immigrant to Sweden and another unidentified man.

Today in Baghdad, Sweden's embassy was stormed by a mob. Embassy personnel were safely removed. The below article from today's SVT news is translated by Fousesquawk.

Swedish embassy in Baghdad stormed

Updated today 08:42. Posted today 06:29

Sweden's embassy in Iraq's capital city, Baghdad, was stormed Thursday. The embassy's personnel were able to leave the building and get to safety, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"It is not so surprising," says SVT's Turkey correspondent.

The populist and influential Shia Muslim leader, Moqtada al-Sadr, reportedly earlier in the day reportedly urged his followers to go and protest against Wednesday's Koran burning in Stockholm. Afterward, the followers reportedly made their way to Sweden's embassy in Baghdad. 

"It is not so surprising. We have seen very strong reactions to the Koran burnings in Sweden, "says SVT's Turkey correspondent Thomas Thoren.

Images posted on social media, which have not been verified, show a large gathering of people outside Sweden's embassy and inside the embassy area as well. The storming reportedly lasted about 15 minutes, according to Agence France Presse's photographer, and ended after a security force arrived in the area. 

Reaction to Koran burning

Many strong reactions and many condemnations have come in reaction to the Koran burning outside a mosque in central Stockholm by 37-year-old Salwan Momika, who resides in  Järna and comes from Iraq.

"This has awakened sharp reactions in many places in the Middle East. We have seen public statements from Jordan, Morocco has withdrawn its ambassador. Iran has also come out with a statement and Iraq has come out with an official statement condemning the burning," says SVT's foreign affairs reporter, Lina Malers.

Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, also condemned the Koran burning during the day.

Personnel are safe

The embassy's personnel reportedly have left the embassy and gotten themselves to safety.

"We are well informed on the situation. Our embassy personnel are safe and the Foreign Affairs Ministry is in constant contact with them," writes the Foreign Affairs Ministry in an email to SVT News.

France Explodes Again: Two Nights of Rioting After 17-Year-Old Killed by Police

France 24

On Tuesday in the municipality of Nanterre, outside Paris, two French police officers were attempting to stop and investigate a car driven by a 17-year-old named Nahel, who was known to the police for various infractions including refusing to comply with police. The driver attempted to take off with one officer standing at the driver's side window, apparently talking to the driver, and  the other officer leaning across the left side of the hood and pointing his weapon at the driver. As the driver took off, one of the officers (it is not clear which) fired at the driver who crashed the car and died. 

The officer who fired the fatal shot(s) has been placed in custody pending investigation of murder charges.

French President Emmanuel Macron publicly stated that the shooting was inexcusable.

Meanwhile, many French cities, including Nanterre, Toulouse, and others have had two nights of riots by immigrant communities. (Nahel was part of the "immigrant community", but it is not known to me if he was born in France or not.) Dozens have been arrested and the French prison of Fresnes has reportedly been attacked by dozens of men attempting to free those arrested.

The below report from France 24 (translation pending) starts off with a video camera showing the actual shooting. It has been reported that one of the officers allegedly said, "I'm going to put a bullet in your head" just before the shooting.
