That's quite a change from the original title... "Meurtre de Nahel : le mouvement ouvrier doit intervenir ! "

17-year old Nahel apparently got a job as a pizza delivery driver without having a driving license, which usually costs around €1000 to get in France. If you fit a certain profile (cf. délit de faciès), police will apparently shoot you for this, if you "refuse to obtemperate". (§).

FWIW: the police officer has been suspended and has been in jail since the shooting.

He might have been, but most of the officers who have involved in similar acts have stayed or even been encouraged by the government.

It's these silly revolutionaries. These Americans and French. Once they uncorked that bottle, once they committed the sin of slaying their masters, they were on the path to perpetual tumult.

Should have taken lessons from their betters, the Brits.

We did after all invent countries and police and all that stuff. We do know what we are doing, by and large.

Now behave, or we will send in our bitches, the Germans, to give you all a good spanking!

The French protest against their tyrants, the Americans protest against themselves.
