Unrest reaches French capital

Is that still a "riot" or is it a "civil war" already? Has anyone ever heard of a "riot" like that?

The arms of modern communication are in the hands of the people. The evildoers use military strategies and get organized with cellphones or on the internet. The cops can't handle the situation because they don't have any military training and they're not supposed to "search and destroy". Whatever you think about the cops, that's not what they do. They're not in charge of killing.

So, it's only a matter of time until everyone will cry for the army and the tanks to come in. But that would be an official "civil war"! A lot of folks would get killed. The situation would get completely out of control. Something big is happening in Paris right now.
