The cities of Île-de-France are prey to a burst of violence after a check that went wrong in the Hauts-de-Seine. The police want to break the spiral of violence.
After Villeneuve-la-Garenne, the Paris region
In full confinement, a spark was enough. The accident of a biker in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, a repeat offender injured in the femur after hitting the door of a car of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC), set fire to powder on Saturday. As of Sunday, the cities were heated to white by videos denouncing a "blunder" on social networks. While dozens of containers were set on fire, the police were the target of mortars and Molotov cocktails. The police, who had to use tear gas and their ball throwers (LBD 40) to restore precarious calm, again suffered fireworks but also "agricultural bombs" in the night from Monday to Tuesday.
