Protesters on Tuesday in Paris take a knee, as riot officers fire tear gas and scattered protesters throw projectiles and set fires at an unauthorized demonstration against police violence and racial injustice. Several thousand people rallied peacefully for two hours around the main Paris courthouse in tribute to George Floyd and to Adama Traoré, a French black man who died in police custody.
In July 2016, Traoré, a French black man, died in police custody in a suburb outside Paris. Although there is no video, many in France believe that, like Floyd, Traoré was asphyxiated by police. None of the police who interrogated Traoré have been arrested. French protesters said it is time their country wakes up to its own legacy of police brutality and impunity.
Tuesday's protest was not the first against police violence and Traoré's death. But until this week, the Traoré case had not widely resonated outside of activist circles, according to French sociologist Mathieu Zagrodzki. "There is no justice in France, either," she said."And France is very hypocritical about racism. They always denounce what happens in the U.S. — like, 'oh look, they are killing black people, this is not good.' But we have our own case [Traoré] and they can't deal with it. We want them to deal with it!"
Paris has been burning for a year...has criminal slums that police won’t even go into.

Methheads shouldn't try to wrestle with police. Lesson learned.

Buffalo officers must be punished
George Floyd: ✅ On Fentanyl ✅ Meth addict ✅ Cocaine addict ✅ Beat & robbed a pregnant woman ✅ Pornstar ✅ Served 5 years in prison ✅ Tested positive for COVID-19 ✅ Resisted arrest ✅ Refused to get in the car
Here’s a solid NPR plan: defund the police, release criminals from jails, refuse to co-operate with federal law enforcement, open the borders, get rid of bail, set a limit at which theft is allowed with no arrests, and stir up as much chaos as possible. Democrats
Damn!!
So the French don't believe what they've been told about the Coronavarius either, eh?
This demonstration was a sham, and a shame. The situation in France has nothing to see with that in the US. The report is shockingly one-sided, unworthy of NPR.
NYC has their first day with out a corona death. All deaths now due to racism.

drseid Well, you can be in the social medias to giga-hate on trump instead of being outside but actions speak louder then words I guess.
Corrupt police and leaders, I would be very afraid for your livelihoods.
And just like that coronavirus is gone… Biggest scam ever.
The French really are the greatest protestors in the world. Inspiration
Thank you France. We love you too. ❤️
The protests here have been heard around the world!
God bless them all
It’s ok to have mass gatherings as long as it’s for a good cause
They would if I could get enough proof. He is a long long time cyber predator stalker who likes little girls and wants to kill me for telling others and he raped me and told authorities I did not pay my rent and tried to get me evicted and tampered with my car
The same concerns about police brutality and the treatment of minorities across the world are being brought to light.

Why didn’t the French protest it 4 years ago? Guess they just needed all the time off from work that they have with COVID
Beautiful sight! BlackLivesMatter
You were shaming people protesting the lock down last week and now you’re promoting mass protests in France for a Frenchman that died under French police brutality? Your publication doesn’t deserve a dime of US tax money. You’re a shit publication and a welfare queen.
The French have more balls that any one. They will fight against police and beat the shit out of them in the process.
Racism any where is RACISM Every where..........
Chant loud. It might be the only chance you, or your aging relatives, get.
