BLUF: Violent protests have erupted across France following the fatal shooting of Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old teenager of Algerian and Moroccan descent, by a police officer. The shooting was captured on video and contradicts initial reports that the teenager had plowed into police officers. The incident has sparked allegations of racism within France’s law enforcement agencies and a history of targeting Black people and immigrants. The protests have resulted in clashes with the police, arrests, injuries, and widespread property damage. The officer involved has been detained on charges of voluntary homicide, but the demonstrations continue as demands for justice persist.
