Video showed officer allegedly telling 17-year-old victim, ‘I’m going to put a bullet in your head’, before he shot him
Youths hurled fireworks and stones at police and torched cars on the fringes of a march in a Paris suburb in memory of a 17-year-old French-Algerian boy shot by police.
The youths disrupted the march, which was led by the teenager’s mother. She and most of the more than 6,000 people who were taking part dispersed after violence broke out, leaving the troublemakers to face armed and helmeted police. Palls of acrid black smoke rose from burning, overturned cars.
France will mobilise 40,000 police officers across the country this evening to deal with the protests.
