“We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality” (Ayn Rand)
This proceeding rewards criminality, reinforces a dhimmi posture on the part of French authorities toward the Islamic community, and hastens France’s cultural and societal demise. An update on this story. “2 French police to stand trial in deaths of teens,” by Pierre-Antoine Souchard for The Associated Press, October 22 (thanks to JW):
Monuments for Mohammedan criminals in France?
Why not? America gets a  victory mosque at Ground Zero in NYC,  an Islamic crescent where flight 93 crashed on 9/11,  8 years after 9/11 a  Muslim POTUS  Hussein Obama tries to bring about the end of America and the global jihad rages all around us. Some people believe that civil wars are  inevitable.
To sue the police for doing their job is a perversion of justice. To build a monument that honors Mohammedan crims is utter dhimmitude and will come to bite them in the ass.
But the French, overall, are in deep denial. They still believe the problem is somehow manageable.
Its not.
Meanwhile, the French “pension riots” (jihad) Â against the state continues, regardless:
Take a look, a close look: how many of these ‘yoots’ look French to you?

PARIS — Two French police officers will stand trial accused of failing to save the lives of two teens whose 2005 deaths sparked weeks of riots around the country, lawyers said Friday.The officers will face charges of “non-assistance to a person in danger,” said a lawyer for the victims’ families, Jean-Pierre Mignard. The charge carries up to five years in prison and up to euro75,000 ($95,400) in fines.
Two boys, 15-year-old Bouna Traore and 17-year-old Zyed Benna, died while hiding from police in a power substation in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois on Oct. 27, 2005 when they were electrocuted. Another boy with them suffered severe burns.
Local youths blamed the police for the deaths and exploded in anger, setting cars ablaze and smashing store windows. That tapped a deep well of frustration among largely minority youth in poor housing projects nationwide, and fiery unrest spread across the country, raging for three weeks in the nation’s housing projects. Tensions between youths and police still plague such neighborhoods….
The lawyer for the police officers, Daniel Merchat, said his clients were “sacrificed on the altar of public opinion” and that there was not enough evidence of a crime….
An internal police review of the electrocutions faulted police officers for their handling of the incident. It confirmed the officers had been chasing the teens before they were killed, which the Interior Ministry and police had initially denied. The report said officers should immediately have notified French energy company EDF that the youths were hiding in the power station.

The same could be said about their national football team. And England’s
Ridiculous – these muslims killed themselves – only a totally incompetent Legal system would take the police to trial. It is time for the French to stand up an support these two police men. who put their lives in danger ever time they go
onto the streets.

“High voltage” “Danger”
What is incomprehensible here? The two, Zyed and Bouna, were illiterate? Didn’t know about the danger of high voltage?

This is just another opportunity for islam to fight the infrastructure of The West, from within.
Paris court drops 2005 riots case against police
France appeals court drops ‘failure to help’ case against police over teenagers whose deaths sparked weeks of rioting
It is incredible that this case went before the courts in the first place.
A Paris appeals court has sided with two police officers , dropping a “failure to help” case against them for two teenagers whose deaths in 2005 led to weeks of rioting around France.
The two boys, 15-year-old Bouna Traore and 17-year-old Zyed Benna, were electrocuted while hiding from police in a power substation in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois on 27 October 2005. A third teenager suffered serious burns.
The families of the victims were angered by the decision, according to their lawyer, Jean-Pierre Mignard. He said he felt “shame and sadness” and would appeal to a higher court.
The lawyer for the police officers welcomed the decision. “Today, after five years, my clients see their professional honesty recognised,” Daniel Merchat told reporters.
Local teenagers blamed the police for the deaths and exploded in anger, setting cars ablaze and smashing store windows. That tapped a well of frustration nationwide among largely minority youth in poor housing projects, and fiery riots raged across the country for three weeks. Tensions between French police and youths in poor neighbourhoods still simmer and occasionally erupt into violence.
The question of the police officers’ responsibility in the deaths has been a divisive one.
Investigating judges ruled last year that the officers should face trial on charges of “non-assistance to a person in danger”. But the regional prosecutor’s office had argued there was not enough evidence to show the officers knew the boys were inside the power station.
The two on trial were a police intern at a command post listening to radio communications from the scene and an officer who allegedly saw the two teenagers enter the power substation.
The interior ministry initially denied that the police had chased the youths before they hid in the power station. An internal police review, however, confirmed the officers had been chasing the teenagers before they were killed and said officers should immediately have notified French energy company EDF that the youths were hiding in the substation.
Under French law, everyone – not just police – must try to help a person in danger as long as they or others are not threatened by bringing such aid.
Good Lord. The police officers should not be brought up on charges of any kind, at all.
They are not responsible for the actions of someone else. (But we are talking about Muslims here, who as we all know never take responsibility for anything-ever.) No one should be held accountable for the actions or choices another makes.
This is really about the French establishment appeasing the savages.
@Chris,
I have a family member who worked in the ME. Whilst there they had a problem with electricity, when the went out to investigate; they found the bodies of a gang of six, who were attempting to strip the electrical cables of copper wire. As the wire were live, all six idiots electrocuted themselves to death. Each genius thought the one before them had drained all the electricity in the wires.
Why let a little sign that says, “High voltage” “Danger” get in the way of ones desires/needs.
Or one could look at it as Allah was not on their side in France or the ME.
