But if the police shoot the attackers, it will just make the attackers hate them and want to do violence......
You cannot escalate violence ---- unless you intend to WIN.
Can we count on the French to fight to victory?
They are already in a position where they must either win or die.
I think you need to draw the line at the preservation of law and order. Once mobs get the idea that the police will not act, no matter what they do, then there is no longer any law or order.
If the government loses control, there are two possible outcomes. One is that the Muslims will take over France and the rest of Europe, which I am afraid is the likelier outcome.
The other is that ordinary people will take the law into their own hands, and you will have lynch mobs and civil war. We like to joke on FR about the French habit of surrendering, but the past has shown that when you drive Europeans past a certain point, watch out. Possibly they are now too decadent now to take such a path, but I don't see Europe going down without a struggle, in at least some countries. If the police refuse to act, then you will have anarchy sooner or later.
You are correct, but to see the faces of these buttwipes if those French cops had come out of the car with automatic weapons smoking would have been worth a lot.
