Why do the ritors ask for Justice?

[RobertE]

Just one hypothetical question on a realistic event. In 2005, a police car was chasing two youths in Paris. They were riding without helmets and making general fools of themselves. They tried to hide inside an electrical substation where they were both electrocuted. For me, I do not think the police were at fault since they were only doing their job in trying to catch the offenders. If they cannot read or understand that electricity kills, then either education has failed them, or it could be simply that they couldn't be bothered to turn up. Either way, when the word "danger", is in 1 foot high capitals, it means that it is a dangerous place. Now, during the next 3 weeks, over 10,000 cars were burnt throughout France, many schools were burnt down, many people lost their livelihoods, and in the 93 area of France, there were gangs of 10-15 year old kids who were throwing rocks at the police at midnight on a school night. Please tell me that there was NOT one single parent to tell them to get back indoors?

Anyway, the question to you all would be this. Your car has been torched, your business has been burnt down to the ground and your child can no longer go to school because the school has been burnt down. Would you want to side with the police to get those who have burnt your car, your business and stopped your child from being educated, or would you want to be behind those who have no respect for the law?

I know who I would choose any day of the week. I want to be able to walk in the streets without being mugged, I want my daughters to walk around in safety, I want my friends to be able to go out when they want in Paris without being in constant fear, and for that alone, we need the police.
