How can looting, rioting, arson etc. be a reasonable response? How can that do any good? How can that be justice? Small business owners aren't to blame for what the police do.

when will Channel 4 do an interview of a shop owner who was looted?

[louisdewit]

He’s North African, Berber. Not Arab. He was driving on a bus lane. Ignored stop sign twice. Drove off although stopped eventually. Seems to me like very Racist actions towards indigenous Gaul French police. We have a lot of Berbers in my country with lots of that type of racist aggressive provocative behavior towards indigenous citizens and police.

They've should interview the guy that got his hand cut off trying to protect his property. 👋

I love the guy who says "he's not afraid", while wearing a baklava that covers his entire head except his eyes.

If you don't follow the rules, then that's it.

Hey French activist, are you ever planning to mount protests against the immigrant from Algiers who tortured and killed the young French girl Lola? My guess is no.

[InsanitiesBrother]

Arab? Why on earth is that part of the story. He was a French citizen no? Imagine if I ended up in a story and despite being British got identified as "Black carribean" It feels awfully divisive. An intentional desire to prokoke racial tensions. His race does not seem to be part of the incident what so ever.

Behave yourselves !! Show some respect for the rule of law, you are not the law.

[silvezgunz]

They are using riot as an excuse to loot 😂

[guff]

Why do the French people not give awards to these honourable police officers?

[DecSpecs]

I don't see how looting and destroying your country teaches the police anything? All you're showing is that you do infact need more stringent policing.

[andreacarter]

Destroying schools, setting fires, ruining public buildings is only gonna make things worse. Dialogue is what is required. Peace

[guff]

It's just the cops sweeping the streets of vermin, no?

[florenceward]

How did their parents let them into the street to destroy the very structure that feeds the society? Now the young man died in vain because of all these lunatics on the street instead of focusing on his death for a change.

in the UK, the cops beat me, the cops are right to do it!

Unfortunately that comes as a price for France to have many colonies in the world. You take their wealth and in the end you pay the price.
