What's wrong with deporting people who riot and attack the police?

PARIS, France (AP) -- Unrest spread across troubled suburbs around Paris in a sixth night of violence as police clashed with angry youths and scores of vehicles were torched in at least nine towns, local officials said.
Police in riot gear fired rubber bullets late Tuesday at advancing gangs of youths in Aulnay-sous-Bois -- one of the worst-hit suburbs -- where 15 cars were burned, according to officials in the Seine-Saint-Denis region.
Youths lobbed Molotov cocktails at an annex to the town hall and threw stones at the firehouse. It was not immediately clear whether there were injuries from the clashes.

The police need to replace those rubber bullets with real bullets.
That'll stop some people from rioting for more than one night.

PARIS, France -- Parisian suburbs have suffered a seventh straight night of violence as youths set fire to dozens of cars in at least nine areas to the north and east of the French capital.
The disturbances damaged a shopping center, car dealership and primary school as hundreds of police were deployed to quell the unrest, which was triggered last week by the deaths of two teenagers.
About 40 cars, two buses and numerous dustbins were set ablaze, a local official told Reuters.
In the northeastern suburb Aulnay-sous-Bois, rampaging youths set a Renault dealership on fire and burned at least a dozen cars. A supermarket and local gymnasium were also torched, The Associated Press reported.
Anger grips Paris riot suburb
A driver pulls up in front of the market, his little boy strapped in the back of his car.
He admits belonging to a group that is sometimes a bit "chaud" - meaning troublesome - a hint at the unrest of the past few days.
He describes the nightly presence of the CRS, the French riot police, as provocation.
"If they didn't come here, into our area, nothing would happen," he says. "If they come here it's to provoke us, so we provoke back."
'Neglected people'
The French Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, has promised to send in special police units to "occupy" difficult estates, describing urban gangs as "scum".

So one perspective is "If they didn't come here, into our area, nothing would happen," and another that the gangs at least aer just regarded as 'scum'. But it doesn't sound like the reported deaths are the sole cause here, rather a catalyst.
Is is suggested that the death of the two youths, 15 and 17 died as tney were running away from the police. Although the authorities are denying this even if it were the case this is the most important part of the story. Why were they being chased? Was there a legimate reason? If the truth is knows here then that's a giant step to understanding recent events.
I see a spate of blaming the police for things of late. In the UK there was a tragic crash recently wehre five teenagesr died while in a stolen car being persued by police. The police are coming under fire for this, but I just don't get it. Unless the police were trying to drive the car off the road the blame lies with the driver of the other car. Surely? If he hadn't stolen the car, or had stopped, everyone would still be alive wouldn't they?
