    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.

      In German communities I hear already being spread as well that the riots is due to “excessive migration”, which I assume is our right wing spreading further the French right wing take on this? My impression was more it‘s due to the pension reform as well as police violence, but it‘s getting all twisted up by these agendas now, so I‘m getting confused myself.
