You can debate the need to arrest, but creating a ruse that ends up with the man being shot several times?

      If read carefully, what does not happen is “law enforcement officers” getting away with impunity that often in these situations. France always has had problems with their ex-colonies citizens and non-citizens, but these 13 cases are exceptional. And please do compare the numbers of people killed or shot by the police in France (or even in the E.U.) to the numbers of the U.S., even taking in account the difference in size of populations. Then come tell me I’m pretending.

      Edit: Just for reference, thought it lacks lots of European countries. Please order by Region and compare Europe to the U.S.A., and check the span of time also:
