Further rioting in Paris suburb



French youths have been battling police for a second night in a suburb of Paris where two teenagers died after their motorcycle collided with a police car.
Up to 30 police officers are said to have been injured in the clashes.

Earlier in the day, a state prosecutor ordered a manslaughter inquiry into the deaths of the two teenagers in Villiers-le-Bel.

Local youths blame police for the deaths but police say the two teenagers were speeding and not wearing helmets.

In this tumultuous city, this kind of accidents are easy to happen.
I think this accident just simple one. Otherwise, this is just another attack for the police only.

It's a pity that the French government has not actually dealt with the growing problems. People did that for a reason, and the government should not put a blind eye on the whole issue.
