I know it’s hard for americans to grasp it but the rest of the world doesn’t have your issues. You should stop projecting.
The kid could have been white and killed anyway if he was from « banlieue ».
The issue here is our police being out of control : It was already an issue during the Yellow Jackets protests and during the age of retirement protests.
They are out of control because our government let them do everything they want because they are the only reason why our current government hasn’t been overthrown during the previous protests.
Macron litteraly ask the government to not say a single word against the police ffs.
French policing of climate protests have been draconian from the get go, state violence is encouraged by the heavy militarisation of the gendarmerie in France.
Not uncommon around the West since 911, and getting worse in many countries as social protest and political polarisation intensifies.
The issues being protested are unifying, or would be if not for this militarisation of state force, indicating intolerance for dissent.
