Over 800 people were arrested in France Thursday night as protests and riots broke out nationwide following the police shooting of a 17-year-old boy of Algerian and Moroccan descent.Along with the arrests, French officials said there were 3,880 fires started, 2,000 vehicles burned, and 492 buildings damaged nationwide. French President Emmanuel Macron said the teen’s death was “inexplicable and unforgivable” but also called the riots an “unacceptable manipulation of a teenager’s death.
” French officials deployed 45,000 police officers nationwide ahead of expected unrest Friday night. A police officer shot the teenager, identified only as Nahel M., as he drove away to escape a traffic stop on Tuesday. The officer was detained on suspicion of voluntary homicide, and a prosecutor concluded that “the conditions for the legal use of the weapon were not met.” A lawyer for the officer said he was “sorry” and “devastated” by the incident.
