EU Nationwide Riots in France Over Police Shooting

Sobek

Disgusting Scalie
From what little I heard some non-white 17yo was shot by police on a traffic stop. No real details about what actually happened or even what the protesters claim happened.

Sounds like a excuse by Macron to try and lock down harder because his bosses on the WEF know shit is coming undone.

What actually sparked the riots? The cause has been massively underreported in English language media IMHO.
It could be almost a BLM riot story in the level of stupidity, except it's in France and with Arabs.
A 17 year old delivery driver of Arab ethnicity in a rental mercedes (not sure how legal that is to begin with, as in driving a car without supervision without real driving license that one can get only at 18, a rental at that) was apparently breaking some traffic rules, enough to gain the interest of 2 motorcycle cops. They stop him, and its apparently serious enough situation that one leans into the car through driver side window while the other openly points his pistol at him, they talk for a moment i think...
So what does the driver do? Follow instructions? Leave the car with hands up? Ask for a lawyer?
No, one moment he decides to floor it like it's GTA and gets shot for his effort, crashing the car and dying from the wound 10 minutes later.
Cops claim he was being a threat to them and/or public to justify the shooting. Personally i would agree. Such behavior indicates that the driver was doing something so illegal that an attempt to hide it was worth the risk of being shot and adding causing a police chase to charges, or he wasn't, in which case what he did was dangerously stupid.

Also according to the wiki article he was "known to the police". Of course not for being a good kid, he has the rap sheet an american gangbanger would not be ashamed of.

Shooting

On 27 June 2023, a 17-year-old male identified as Nahel M. was driving a rented[9] Mercedes AMG[10] without a valid driver's license in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris. Nahel, who was too young to possess a full driver's license in France and was driving unlawfully,[11][better source needed] was employed as a delivery driver.[2] Nahel was "known to the police, particularly for resisting arrest," and in fact had been charged with resisting the previous weekend[12] and five times since 2021. His judicial file included 15 recorded incidents, including use of false license plates, driving without insurance, and for the sale and consumption of narcotics.[13] Accompanying him in the car were two other passengers.[10] Nahel, who had Algerian heritage,[14] was stopped by two police officers at approximately 8:30 am (CEST)[15] near the François Arago crossing, close to the Nelson Mandela Square, due to traffic violations.[16][17][18]

During the encounter, one of the officers, a 38-year-old brigadier,[19] brandished a firearm, while the other officer engaged in conversation with Nahel. It was alleged by the police that Nahel refused to comply with their instructions.[20] In a video recording of the incident, someone can be heard warning, "you're going to get shot."[21] When Nahel attempted to flee the scene, the brigadier fired a close-range shot into his chest.[22][21] The police later claimed that they felt their lives were in danger, asserting that Nahel had been driving towards them.[23][16] Nahel's car accelerated and collided with a nearby post.[16][17]
Sale of narcotics? Delivery driver? False plates? Oh my...
Wonder who the other 2 people are and what's their history with law enforcement.
Apparently 1 of them managed to flee the scene.

Note how 90% of news articles do not mention the rap sheet and picture the young drug dealer as a good boy with real potential who would never do anything wrong....

17 years old? That is the age of Stupidity. Young enough to do really stupid shit not old enough to realise you are not immortal.

So, in one we have someone using either a very crappy or peculiar RPG or IED against a building (allegedly a police station) , in another it looks likely there is an individual with a belt-fed M249 saw or maybe a Belgian/French equivalent and then you have a rooftop-Korean-style sniper. ADDENDUM : You guys should know that some of those who commented the sniper tweet affirm that is :

  1. BB Gun
  2. The video IS apparently a couple of years older than the riots taking place NOW
However I have no way of verifying it who's right in this occasion.
