Footage of unrest in Paris following the death of a 17-year-old shot by a police officer in the metropolitan suburb of Nader is shocking.
The clashes are mostly ethnic in nature, and the video below shows how a car stops, from which people armed with machine guns get out and shoot at police officers.
Is PMC Wagner Group Needed to Bring Peace to Paris?
Video is NOT combat in Donbass. This is ethnic warfare in France, with fighters armed with assault weapons.
Perhaps, rent-boy Macron should keep his nose out of Russian affairs and worry about his own country as it freefalls… pic.twitter.com/Dflp6pc0Wc

“Does a group of Wagner PMCs need to establish peace in Paris? The video is NOT fighting in the Donbass. This is an ethnic war in France, the fighters are armed with assault weapons. Maybe Macron should not poke his nose into Russian affairs and worry about your own country, which is heading for the abyss?”– a user with the nickname James Porrazzo writes on Twitter
Riots over the tragic death of a teenager shot dead by a policeman began on Tuesday morning, and then the Nader district was literally on fire as protests erupted.
The reason for the clash was a tragic incident the previous morning: a police patrol stopped the car for checks, and when they refused to obey the order and tried to escape, one of the law enforcement officers used a service weapon and shot the driver.

The video, then circulated on social media – authenticated by the French news agency and other media outlets – shows one of two policemen in the Nader district pointing a gun at the driver and then shooting him at close range as he tries to accelerate, to hide. The phrase “you’ll get a bullet in your head” is heard in the video, but it’s not clear who says it.
The car stops its course a few tens of meters away, at a pole. The victim, 17-year-old Nael M., died of a chest wound. There were two more people in the car with him – one of them disappeared, the second, also a minor, was detained, but then released.
As it turned out, the teenager is known to the police for numerous cases of disobeying orders and driving without a license.

This caused a shock, the public had questions about the willingness of law enforcement to pull the trigger. Residents held a protest near the police building, set fire to trash cans, smashed bus stops, threw firecrackers, and got into fights with the security forces. They responded with tear gas. Later, the unrest spread to other suburbs of the capital: Suresnes, Asnieres-sur-Seine, Gennevilliers, La Garin-Colombes and Villeneuve.
The policeman who shot the teenager has been arrested on suspicion of premeditated murder. In parallel, an investigation was launched in connection with the refusal to obey the demands of law enforcement officers and an attempted murder of a government official. More than 30 arrests have been made, according to the county police department’s report as of 10:00 local time (02:00 GMT).

J’ai mal à ma France. 💙🤍💔💔💔
Une situation inacceptable.

“May a justice worthy of the name honor this child,” actor Omar Sy tweeted.
In 2022, France recorded a record number of deaths as a result of drivers refusing to check on the road – thirteen.
