The police murdered a young student electrician for ‘refusing to comply’ with a checkpoint set up outside an Algerian ghetto. His capital crime he was likely trying to avoid arrest? Driving without a license.

This riot wasn't caused by social media, or Nahel's murder for that matter. It was caused by systemic racism in France. Macron is trying to scapegoat and shut down social media because the kind of peace we wants can be destroyed by truth.

Systemic racism and a president basically giving cops licence to beat up, torture and murder. Elle est belle la république bordel.
