At least 150 arrested in France as teen’s death by police shooting sparks outrage

PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 29: At least 150 protesters have been arrested in France following the death of a 17-year-old delivery driver by police shooting in a Paris suburb. People took to the streets in several parts of the country including Nanterre, Lyon, Lille, Toulouse and Viry-Chatillon over the death of Nahel M. in Nanterre early Tuesday. They set fire to vehicles, bins and public property in some areas. In the cities of Toulouse and Lille, protesters threw rocks at police officers, who responded with tear gas to disperse them. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced Wednesday that he will take legal action against a police union after it posted a tweet attempting to justify the killing of the 17-year-old. “#Nanterre Congratulations to the colleagues who opened fire on a young 17-year-old criminal. By neutralizing his vehicle, they protected their lives and the users of the road. The only one responsible for the death of this thug are his parents, unable to educate their son," said the group called “France Police.” The tweet was later deleted.
