The air is brisk, the leaves have fallen, and it's car-burning time in Paris. In case your wondering, the "youths" do belong to a certain religion known for it's peacefulness.
Police said 21 officers were injured in the rioting in the northern suburbs of Villiers-le-Bel and Arnouville.
A prosecutor has ordered an internal police inquiry into possible manslaughter and "non-assistance to persons in danger".
The violence - reminiscent of riots in 2005 - lasted for more than six hours.
In 2005, the deaths of two youths in nearby Clichy-sous-Bois led to France's worst civil unrest in more than 40 years.
On Sunday night Villiers-le-Bel police station was set ablaze and another in Arnouville was pillaged, police say. At least seven people were arrested.
The two "teenagers" in question were 12 and 13. (Another report has them at 15 and 16) The "youths" had stolen the motorcycle and neither were wearing a helmet. They were accidentally hit by a police car.
Sarkosy had better get a grip on what's happening to his country. It's time to wake up and smell the infitada.
Update: Ironic Surrealism has a nice round up, including the blog of one of the motorcycle victims.
