The French certainly know how to protest and riot.
They most certainly do.
I think anyone who has read my posts know that I am, by inclination, a woolly liberal.
Perhaps it is my age. I'm not defending the actions of that French policeman. But the facts appear to suggest he is not the sole cause of that young man's sad death.
It appears he was stopped by the police. There are differing accounts as to what happened next, but it seems clear that the 17-yr-old young man was asked not to drive away (or drive at the police, according to who you believe), and that the policeman would shoot him if he did. He drove away. And was indeed shot.
I'm lucky enough to live in a Country where the Police are not armed. But if a policeman carrying a gun asks me not to leave or he will shoot me, I'm not going anywhere. And, if one of my kids did that, I would be thinking that I had failed as a parent.
