150 PEOPLE HAVE been arrested in France in a second night of violence after the killing of a teenager by police.
Fires could be seen burning at some intersections in the suburb and protesters shot fireworks at police, video from the suburb showed. “Nothing justifies the death of a young person,” Macron told reporters in Marseille, calling what happened “inexplicable and inexcusable”. The police officer suspected of firing on Nael remains in custody and faces potential manslaughter charges, according to the Nanterre prosecutor’s office.
Speaking to Parliament on Wednesday, prime minister Elisabeth Borne said: “The shocking images broadcast yesterday show an intervention that clearly appears as not complying with the rules of engagement of our police forces.” France also saw protests against racial profiling and other injustice in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by police in Minnesota.
