French "Student" Ethnic Riots Escalate

As French Riots Escalate, 'Wild Horde' Beats Police Commander Unconscious, Stomps His Head

A French police commander in his sixties was chased, knocked down and kicked in the head until he blacked out outside a Belfort high school on Friday morning. Prosecutors have opened an investigation for attempted murder of a public official.
The officer is the local chief of territorial intelligence. He was in plain clothes, trying to arrest a youth suspected of starting a fire.
This is not a scuffle on the edge of a school complaint. It is the second mob hunt of a lone officer in two days, filmed, shared, and dressed up by parts of the press as a student protest about classrooms.
Posting several clips in the event some are removed by X:
The attack happened at about 9:15 a.m. on Friday, October 2, on the grass near Lycée Gustave-Courbet. Belfort prosecutor Paul-Édouard Lallois said the commander "was set upon by a wild horde of young people who knocked him to the ground and beat him with punches and kicks, particularly to the head." Most of the attackers had hoods up or faces covered. Reinforcements scattered them. The officer had already lost consciousness.
Lallois called it "a scene of unheard-of violence" and said "we came within two fingers of a tragedy." Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez wrote that the images were of "a rare violence" and "unbearable," that the officer had been "deliberately targeted," and that "everything will be done to identify the authors of this abject act."
Nuñez added that the commander was hospitalized after losing consciousness, and that his condition "fortunately no longer inspires major concern." On Saturday, police sources told France Télévisions the first exams were reassuring and the injuries were superficial trauma.
He was treated at Trévenans hospital with bruises and open wounds to the face, and Lallois said he was "particularly shocked, marked by the savagery of the assault," with "very visible marks of blows on his face."
The Alliance police union posted the footage with a blunt line: a cop "hunted like prey, caught, thrown to the ground and struck in the face several times, several against one." The union's verdict: "This is no longer anti-cop hatred. IT IS A HUNT FOR COPS."
The commander heads the departmental territorial intelligence service for the Territoire de Belfort. He was not standing in a cordon. He had just tried to arrest a youth suspected of starting a fire on the grass around the school and of throwing a projectile at officers. The prefecture said that youth was carrying a bag containing hydrochloric acid and protective equipment. The youth got away when the pack closed in.
A separate clip of the arrest, shot in a stream beside the school, was then waved around as proof the officer had tried to drown a teenager. Lallois shut that down on Saturday. "It is the individual who deliberately goes into the water" while trying to escape, he said. Both of them fell. "The youth cannot be immersed in the water, there is not enough water to be immersed." The commander was on his knees in the stream. The suspect was then cuffed on the bank.
That same suspect is now one of the people investigators want. Lallois said several people have been identified as likely principal authors, and that he was "fairly optimistic" they could be arrested within 24 hours. The youth the commander had handcuffed is "clearly identified as coming to deliver two violent kicks to the head of the police officer," recognizable on the video by the cuff still on his wrist.
Friday's beating landed on top of Thursday's hunt in Paris. A trainee lieutenant with the Paris police prefecture was chased on foot near Avenue Gambetta, in the 20th arrondissement, during a lycée gathering. Voices on the recording call her a "bitch" and scream "Kill her."
Someone trips her. Others kick her on the ground, including to the head. She filed a complaint. Nuñez called the attack intolerable and said a young trainee lieutenant "was pursued, thrown to the ground and assaulted by several individuals."
Marine Le Pen wrote: "The image of this young policewoman, pursued by a pack howling its hatred, thrown to the ground and assaulted, is unbearable. These acts deserve exemplary sentences. Let her know that tonight, millions of French people offer her warm support."
The official story is still that this is a pupil movement about absent teachers, overcrowded rooms and late buses. Education Minister Édouard Geffray said the movement had been "taken hostage by ultra-violent small groups."
On Thursday alone the Interior Ministry counted 1,949 arrests and 305 injured officers. Geffray said 235 people in the education sector had been hurt, including 65 school staff. About 400 schools were closed on Friday. Nuñez sent the BRAV-M motorcycle units into Paris and said that when police use force on his orders, "they are not facing demonstrators but rioters."
Footage shows burning classrooms, buses and fire engines set alight, shops looted, and packs going after female officers. The media is adamant that this is not about race or demographics, while those on the receiving end in virtually every single instance are white native French people.
French politician Éric Zemmour urged "This has nothing to do with bad school conditions. Plain and simple. These are ethnic riots and demographics is destiny. Without remigration, this is the fate of all Western European nations."

France: Many Accuse “Student” Riots of Being Leftist Tactic. Mass Migration & Welfare Spending Overwhelm France.
NeedToKnow.News

Riots and violence are spreading across France that initially began as student riots against overcrowding in schools and teacher shortages. The Macron government announced budget cuts to schools last week. France’s welfare spending is out of control and mass migration has wrecked the country.
A critic said that “The students’ grievances about missing teachers and deteriorating schools were real at first. But dousing a principal in gasoline and attacking firefighters are acts of extreme violence. What makes this politically significant is the effort to turn frustration over schools into a much broader confrontation with the government.”
An estimated 5,000 people, mostly teenagers, have been arrested nationwide and dozens injured. More than 600 police officers have also been injured. There were seven incidents in which people threw hydrochloric acid at law enforcement officers. Mobs are firebombing fire trucks. A 15-year old was arrested in Marseille for burning a female bystander’s face with a makeshift flame thrower made with an aerosol can and lighter.
Students have accused the police of using heavy-handed tactics, including the use of tear gas.
French intelligence claims the protest movement had been initiated by politicians from the ultra hard-left France Unbowed Party, known as LFI that has joined the riot protests. Bally Bagayoko, the leftist mayor of the Saint-Denis suburb, laughed and danced outside a blocked-off school that was in flames while demonstrators cheered him on.
Jesse Watters says that the left wants to destroy France in order to usher in communism.
France is up in smoke over $6 billion. Watters said that the communist wishlist would cost an estimated $50 TRILLION.
Marine Le Pen also accused LFI of playing a direct role in the unrest. “This is no longer about high school student protests. It is about riots organized by professionals and overseen by deputies from La France Insoumise,” Le Pen wrote on X in a translated post. “We must pass a new anti-rioters law so that participation in a riot is a clearly identified offense.”
Footage shows Bally Bagayoko, mayor of the Saint-Denis suburb, laughing and dancing outside a blocked-off school while demonstrators cheer him on. Bagayoko is the mayor of 150 000 people, of which around 90% are immigrants, second-generation migrants and third-generation migrants.
The Paris Police Prefecture has filed a complaint against Mr Bagayoko for ‘incitement to commit a crime’.
A 15-year old protester burned a female bystander’s face with a makeshift flamethrower.
