Media Silence
http://galliawatch.blogspot.com/The police union Unsa denounces the "media silence" surrounding an accident in which police were injured. According to Le Salon Beige, the incident occurred in Toulouse on the same day as the accident in Villiers-le-Bel that triggered rioting. On November 25, 5 persons, including three policemen were injured in Toulouse:
Two police cars were arriving on the scene of a fight in a nightclub in Toulouse. As they drove away, one of the two vehicles signaled a BMW speeding through the crowded streets and coming towards them. The second vehicle did not have the time to go ten yards when it was hit broadside at top speed by the BMW. Only the policeman driving was not very seriously injured. The two other police officers, both women, were ejected from the police car. One has multiple fractures, the other, very seriously wounded is in a coma. The prognosis is reserved. She is the mother of two and her husband is also a policeman. The driver of the BMW was drunk and had no drivers license. He and his passenger had almost no injuries...
On the same topic of media silence, a website called Poliblog describes two conspiracies surrounding the accident at Villiers-le-Bel between the two youths on a motor-bike and a police car. The first is a pro-youth, anti-cop conspiracy, that says the cops are guilty of fleeing the scene; the second is a pro-cop, anti-youth conspiracy exonerating the police and accusing the youth of deliberately damaging the police car. However, the author feels that the real conspiracy is elsewhere:
The real conspiracy consists of hiding from the citizens the extreme gravity of the situation in certain sensitive neighborhoods such as Villiers-le-Bel, that have become quite simply unmanageable and impenetrable, both for police and firemen, not to mention other public services in the area (businesses, doctors, etc...)
Do the French people have the right to know? Why are they being lied to? And especially, what is being done?
Possibly the real conspiracy is not just lying about certain "sensitive" neighborhoods, but about the danger to the country as a whole.
