How to pick up the pieces? France reckons with week of riots How can France pick up the pieces? From the anger over a police shooting and its attempted cover-up, to the riots and destruction that have left a local mayor's wife in hospital, has the violence now drowned out the legitimate outrage over what sparked it? There is no justification for looting and destruction, nor for the targeting of law enforcement with firecrackers. Why are so many of those in the street so young? Was the escalation avoidable? We ask about the state's response.
