French police maimed schoolchildren who asked for teachers. The media led on the looting, and Trump called it Islam.
The protests began on 21 September at one school near Paris, over teaching posts nobody had filled. We read 734 English-language reports from 164 outlets. On the day 550,000 people marched, 73% led on the violence, 42% never said the marches were peaceful, and only two gave any number for injured protesters.
