Can you educate me on what the riots are about? I got the thing that a policeman murdered a black kid, but is that a common thing in France, or is there something specific the rioters want changed?
I don’t know much about the whole thing despite living not that far away from France.
Police killings are not that common in France, but harassment and brutality against minorities is. The French government has never shown any compassion and only made it easier for the police force to commit these acts and get away with it. The far right is getting more and more brazen and has used this situation to defend the police and demonize minority communities. The murder of this kid was just a way to funnel the increasing anger at the system that acts as an occupying force in these communities.
