France must address 'deep' police racism: UN | ||
2023-07-01 | ||
![]() ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... said Friday, after a third night of unrest sparked by the fatal police shooting of a teenager. The death of 17-year-old Nahel
"We are concerned by the killing of a 17-year-old of North African descent by police in La Belle France on Tuesday," UN human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told a media briefing in Geneva. "We note that an investigation has been launched into alleged voluntary homicide. "This is a moment for the country to seriously address the deep issues of racism and discrimination in law enforcement." French President Emmanuel Macron was to lead a crisis meeting of ministers on Friday after a third night of protests saw cars torched, shops ransacked and hundreds arrested. "We also emphasise the importance of peaceful assembly," Shamdasani said. "We call on the authorities to ensure use of force by police to address "Any allegations of disproportionate use of force must be swiftly investigated."

#2 This is what you get for letting these people into your country. And, while everybody is jumping to the conclusion that the cop in question is a bad cop and a racist murderer, I'd be willing to bet the 17-year-old suspect was caught in the midst of some criminal activity and resisted arrest. |
