France is roiled by protests after police killed a teenager.

Seems surprisingly similar to the Floyd protests of 2020, in this case the officer has already been arrested and is expected to be charged.

France isn't a place one thinks of when it comes to police shootings, but after the suicide bombings in 2015 I visited for work and was surprised to see heavily armed French police on patrol, and by heavily armed, the looked like soldiers with MP5s and/or assault rifles in full body armor.
