Malam rusuhan Perancis: Polis
cedera, kereta dibakar, sekolah terbakar . . .
TINJAUAN
1WC'sChannel 2012: (RT. Published: 14 bulan Ogos, 2012) Beratus-ratus belia
Perancis dibakar bangunan dan kereta dan bertempur dengan polis, mencederakan
16 pegawai semasa rusuhan semalaman di bandar utara Perancis Amiens. Polis
Perancis melaporkan bahawa pertempuran yang melibatkan kira-kira 100 rioters
dan 150 orang pegawai, bermula sekitar 9:00 Isnin dan berakhir sekitar 04:00
Selasa.
Sekurang-kurangnya
3 orang yang berada di tempat kejadian telah cedera selepas rioters menarik
pemandu dari kereta mereka sambil rampasan kenderaan, AP melaporkan.
"Konfrontasi sangat, sangat ganas," Amiens Datuk Bandar, Gilles
Dumailly kepada BFM rangkaian televisyen Perancis.
Salah
satu peristiwa yang mencetuskan rusuhan tersebut adalah tangkapan yang dibuat
pada hujung minggu untuk memandu secara berbahaya, Perancis media melaporkan.
Penangkapan itu telah dilihat oleh penduduk tempatan sebagai tidak sensitif dan
tidak perlu ganas, sebagai penduduk menghadiri bangun untuk 20 tahun yang mati
dalam kemalangan motosikal.
Sebuah
pusat peranginan dan 2 bangunan sekolah telah dibakar, bersama-sama dengan
rakan kereta sedozen, pegawai-pegawai tempatan. Rioters menggunakan tong sampah
sebagai flaming tambak, dan membuang objek berat pada pegawai polis, yang
bertindak balas dengan penggunaan gas pemedih mata, peluru getah dan sebuah
helikopter.
Amiens
telah mengalami rusuhan pada masa lalu. Bandar ini terkenal bagi pengangguran
yang tinggi, ketegangan kaum dan pasukan polis yang agresif. Daerah di Amiens
adalah antara 15 kawasan diisytiharkan yang paling bermasalah di Perancis awal
bulan ini, yang mendorong kerajaan untuk keselamatan ikrar dan wang tambahan
bagi rantau ini. Dumailly berharap ketegangan akan bertambah baik dengan
rancangan untuk menetapkan projek-projek perumahan dan menawarkan lebih banyak
perkhidmatan, beliau berkata pada masa itu.
Pada
tahun 2005, Perancis menyaksikan pergolakan bandar yang paling teruk dalam 40
tahun, yang membawa kepada pengisytiharan keadaan kecemasan oleh tengah-kanan kerajaan
negara itu (center-right government). Kejiranan keseluruhan Amiens dibakar
untuk hampir sebulan.
2007
kematian dua orang anak yang dilanggar oleh kereta polis mencetuskan satu lagi
gelombang keganasan di bandar. Pergolakan dibakar sekali lagi pada tahun 2010
apabila polis menembak dan membunuh seorang pemuda yang telah merompak kasino.

French riot night: Cops
injured, cars torched, school burnt . . .

REVIEW 2012: (RT. Published: 14 August, 2012) Hundreds of French youths torched
buildings and cars and clashed with police, injuring 16 officers during an
overnight riot in the northern French city of Amiens. French police reported
that the clashes involved some 100 rioters and 150 officers, beginning around
9pm Monday and ending around 4am Tuesday.
At
least three bystanders were hurt after rioters pulled drivers from their cars
while hijacking the vehicles, the AP reported. “The confrontations were very,
very violent,” Amiens Mayor Gilles Dumailly told French television network BFM.
One
of the events that sparked the riot was an arrest made over the weekend for
dangerous driving, French media reported. The arrest was seen by many locals as
insensitive and unnecessarily violent, as residents were attending a wake for a
20-year-old who died in a motorcycle accident.
A
leisure center and two school buildings were razed, along with a dozen cars,
local officials said. Rioters used trash cans as flaming barricades, and threw
heavy objects at police officers, who responded by deploying tear gas, rubber
bullets and a helicopter.
Amiens
has experienced riots in the past. The city is infamous for high unemployment,
racial tension and an aggressive police force. The district in Amiens was among
15 areas declared the most troubled in France earlier this month, prompting the
government to pledge additional security and money for the region. Dumailly
hoped tensions would improve with a plan to fix up the housing projects and
offer more services, he said at the time.
In
2005, France saw its worst urban unrest in 40 years, which led to the
declaration of a state of emergency by the country’s then-center-right
government. Entire neighborhoods of Amiens burned for nearly a month.
The
2007 deaths of two youths hit by a police car sparked another wave of violence
in the city. Unrest flared again in 2010 when police shot and killed a youth
who had robbed a casino.
