The death of 17-year-old Nahel M., as he has been publicly identified, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/minneapolis-mayor-declares-state-of-emergency-announce-curfew-as-minneapolis-braces-for-riots\/\" title=\"Minneapolis Mayor Declares State Of Emergency, Announce Curfew As Minneapolis Braces For Riots\">ignited racial tensions<\/a> in France, a country filled with French Algerians, French Moroccans, and French Muslims.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversial Killing Sparks Outrage<\/h3>\n<p>Nahel M. was of Moroccan and Algerian descent. He was killed on Tuesday during a traffic stop in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. Police initially said Nahel tried to ram the car into them, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/france-riots-violent-unrest-continues-in-wake-of-police-killing-of-teenage-boy\/\" title=\"France riots: Unrest persists after police kill teen.\">video shared online showed officers standing<\/a> at the side of a stationary car, with one of them holding a weapon out in front of them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to put a bullet in your head,&#8221; a voice said in the video before a gun went off and the car drove forward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The officer who allegedly shot Nahel was detained and charged with voluntary manslaughter.<\/p>\n<p>There has been no evidence that Nahel was targeted because of his race, according to the New York Times. But the killing has sent a shockwave through a great deal of the populace of the country, which has long grappled with its history of colonization and racism.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He was a nonwhite person in this country,&#8221; Syrine Djidi, a 19-year-old university student and dual French Algerian citizen, told the newspaper at Nahel&#8217;s vigil Thursday. &#8220;Nonwhite people are targeted by the police.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Politicians and public figures have voiced their anger over the teenage boy&#8217;s killing. French President Emmanuel Macron called the killing &#8220;inexcusable,&#8221; but he has also condemned the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dutch-pm-tells-public-not-to-cuddle-grandkids-as-christmas-is-cancelled-in-the-netherlands\/\" title=\"Dutch PM Tells Public Not to Cuddle Grandkids as Christmas Is Cancelled in the Netherlands\">violent protests taking place<\/a> across the country and asked for citizens to let the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-set-to-be-first-southern-state-to-abolish-death-penalty\/\" title=\"Virginia Set To Be First Southern State To Abolish Death Penalty\">justice system operate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact of Video Footage<\/h3>\n<p>Nahel&#8217;s death at the hands of police was yet another worldwide example of the impact video footage has on investigations and public outcry. With the irrefutable video of Nahel&#8217;s killing, not only was the public upset about the brazen act of violence but also about the fact that it may have shown the officers to be lying about the events that took place.<\/p>\n<p>Protests took place all across France, in and around Paris, in Marseille, in Lille, even spilling out into Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Al Jazeera noted that many people in Nanterre (where Nahel was killed) have not taken part in the riots and have been afraid to walk to school or work, scared to park their cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a North African teenager sparked ongoing riots in France, resulting in over 400 arrests.
