French protesters erected barricades, lit fires and clashed with police as tensions mounted over the deadly police shooting of a teenager. Tens of thousands of police officers have been deployed and 100 protesters were arrested on a 3rd night of protests.
A new audit says hundreds of Connecticut state police troopers falsified information on at least 26,000 traffic stops from 2014 to 2021, skewing statewide reports on the race and ethnicity of pulled-over motorists.
Tensions started to rise in Nanterre following a peaceful march Thursday afternoon in honor of Nahel, with smoke billowing from cars and garbage bins set ablaze despite government appeals for calm and vows that order would be restored. Bus and tram services in the Paris area shut down before sunset as a precaution to safeguard transportation workers and passengers.
The teenager’s family and their lawyers haven’t said the police shooting was race-related and they didn’t release his surname or details about him.“We have to go beyond saying that things need to calm down,” said Dominique Sopo, head of the campaign group SOS Racisme. “The issue here is how do we make it so that we have a police force that when they see Blacks and Arabs, don’t tend to shout at them, use racist terms against them and in some cases, shoot them in the head.
He said two magistrates are leading the investigation, as is common in France. Preliminary charges mean investigating judges strongly suspect wrongdoing but need to investigate more before sending the case to trial.
