Be careful what you wish for........
The massacre appears to have been intentional, as has been demonstrated by historian Jean-Luc Einaudi, who won a trial against
Maurice Papon in 1999 – the latter was convicted in 1998 on charges of
crimes against humanity for his role under the
Vichy collaborationist regime during
World War II. Official documentation and eyewitnesses within the Paris police department indeed suggest that the massacre was directed by Papon. Police records show that Papon called for officers in one station to be "subversive" in quelling the demonstrations, and assured them protection from prosecution if they participated.
[2] Many demonstrators died when they were violently herded by police into the
River Seine, with some thrown from bridges after being beaten unconscious. Other demonstrators were killed within the courtyard of the Paris police headquarters after being arrested and delivered there in police buses. Officers who participated in the courtyard killings took the precaution of removing identification numbers from their uniforms, while senior officers ignored pleas by other policemen who were shocked when witnessing the brutality. Silence about the events within the police headquarters was further enforced by threats of reprisals from participating officers.
