Matthew Valet opposed the withdrawal of stun grenades, believing that the incident in Lens, where a young man lost a hand, did not justify disarming the police. He added that a police officer or gendarme could not be held responsible if someone picked up a grenade at the moment of its explosion. Referring to the events of the previous day at the Place de la Bastille, he claimed that the absence of grenades and LBD (flash-ball launchers) in the face of individuals determined to attack the police risked causing a "bloodbath." He questioned whether this would lead to more confrontations at close quarters and injuries. Valet stated that he felt Emmanuel Macron preferred to see a police officer hospitalized rather than a rioter imprisoned. He argued that disarming police officers exposed them to injury and reminded that they were parents wearing a uniform. He also criticized the Magistrates' Union, accusing it of complacency towards the far left. According to him, excusing violence contributed to its rooting in France. #sécurité #violence #police (translated)

Press Briefs described a strong rise in tensions on the eve of what the report referred to as the "act III" of the high school mobilization, scheduled for Tuesday, October 6. According to the author, more than 5,000 people had been arrested in a few days, about 85% of whom were minors, and nearly 200 students had been injured. He cited several serious injuries: a 16-year-old had lost the use of an eye in Tours, a 14-year-old had been seriously injured in the jaw and teeth in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, a high school student had been injured in the eye in Argenteuil, and on Monday in Lens, a 15-year-old had his hand blown off by the explosion of a de-escalation grenade. Press Briefs added that six investigations by the IGPN were recorded on Monday afternoon. The author reminded that the demands were particularly about the lack of teachers and staff, overcrowded classes, learning conditions, inequalities in resources, and Parcoursup. He reported that the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, had stated that he had given no instructions aimed at limiting the action of the law enforcement agencies nor requested that they forgo their intermediate weaponry. Press Briefs also estimated that the media coverage gave a dominant place to damage, clashes, and law enforcement, to the detriment of the demands and the use of force. In support of this criticism, the author cited a count by Acrimed covering four days of 1 PM and 8 PM news programs on France 2. Of the 24 minutes and 53 seconds dedicated to mobilizations, 19 minutes and 26 seconds, nearly 78%, were said to have focused on violence and clashes. The demands received 1 minute and 56 seconds, a potential disproportionate police response 47 seconds, and the government's accusations against LFI 2 minutes and 58 seconds. Press Briefs also reported that the League of Human Rights, the Lawyers' Union of France, and the Magistrates' Union had criticized the police response and raised concerns about the rights of minors and the rule of law. The Magistrates' Union had described it as brutal and inappropriate for a movement composed mainly of young people, according to the author. #Lyceens #Mobilisation #ViolencesPolicieres (translated)

The author indicated that after the Syndicat de la magistrature, the Ligue des droits de l’homme had raised concerns about the repression targeting young high school students.

Anthony Smith relayed a statement from the Magistrates' Union that denounced the government's response to the anger of high school students. The union believed that the methods of maintaining order did not take into account the vulnerability of a movement composed mainly of minors. It cited videos that reportedly showed students being gassed, brutal arrests, and the use of LBD (defense ball launchers) and explosive grenades. The statement claimed that these disproportionate uses of force particularly affected young people of color from working-class neighborhoods. #6octobre #Justice #DroitsDesEnfants #Manifestation (translated)

Au dernier jour de son procès pour corruption, Rachida Dati, maire du 7e arrondissement de Paris, a exprimé son émotion face aux lourdes réquisitions du Parquet national financier, en dénonçant les accusations de cupidité et de manipulation tout en plaidant pour sa réintégration dans la magistrature. #RachidaDati #Corruption #Justice

🚨 ALERTE - Le parquet requiert 5 ans d’inéligibilité AVEC exécution provisoire contre Rachida Dati. Le parquet demande aussi qu'elle soit RÉVOQUÉE de la magistrature et qu'elle soit interdite d'exercer la profession d'avocat. Mais elle ne perdra pas le poste de maire de Paris, puisqu’elle a déjà PERDU les élections municipales et n'a donc pas été désignée maire de Paris. Elle perdrait toutefois son poste de maire du 7ème arrondissement. #Justice #Politique #RachidaDati
