A 17-year-old boy Nahel was shot dead by a police officer on a Tuesday morning during a traffic stop in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, France. The incident has revived longstanding grievances about policing and racial profiling in France's low-income and multi-ethnic suburbs. This incident had caught on camera that triggered the people of the country which led to bursting in riots.
Meanwhile, the officer who lift the gun reportedly shot in fear of the boy would run someone over with the car. The officer has been investigated for voluntary homicide and placed in preliminary detention. But this encounter has left France in huge trouble, the protesters in anger of racial bias in the country are brutally rioting by putting down the cities and this is being done by just 9% of the population. About 2,500 fires were set and stores were ransacked, according to authorities.
This isn’t Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan.

This turned French officials to launch a crackdown and over 45,000 police officers were appointed for patrolling across the country. Just in the city of Paris, 5,000 security personnel were deployed and as per the reports, since Tuesday more than 2,000 people have been detained and more than 500 police officers and gendarmes have been injured.

Despite such huge official deployment, the riots continued even for the fourth night of protest and over 1,300 people have been arrested who set the buildings ablaze and looting stores. While even after an appeal made by the country’s President Emmanuel Macron to parents to not let their children out of their homes but street clashes between young protesters and police raged on.
Of course looting is NOT a form of protest-it is theft by self-serving vacuous enemies of society - fuelled by the politics of envy. #FranceRiots #FranceProtest It undermines the value and intent of protests. https://t.co/n9UuDwr36r

Police are unable to control the migrant and left-wing riots taking place across the country. French media has surrendered and cannot keep track of the number of towns and cities across the country being looted, set on fire, and destroyed.

France witnessed widespread riots for a fourth consecutive night as thousands of police officers and armored vehicles were deployed to the streets. The unrest was triggered by the fatal shooting of a teenager during a traffic stop.#scooppakistan #franceriots pic.twitter.com/1qxWtzP5ra
