PARIS, France (CNN) -- The French Cabinet has approved emergency measures giving police more powers and allowing local officials to impose curfews in communities at risk of rioting after the nation endured a 12th night of unrest.

President Jacques Chirac said the new powers were "necessary to accelerate the return to calm."
"...measures giving police more powers...".

What? Have they been authorized to use handcuffs now?

It's bizarre, to say the least. Imagine the Outrage if Katrina wasn't addressed for close to 2 weeks.
