    On June 28, 2023, a 17-year-old boy named Nael was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris. The officer, who has not been publicly identified, said that he opened fire after Nael tried to run him over with his car. However, video footage of the incident shows that Nael was already driving away when he was shot.

      The video also shows how the police officer told him that he’s gonna get a bullet in the head.

    The teen was not shot for “violating traffic laws”. The teen was shot for disobeying a direct, lawful order of a police officer to stop his vehicle.

    I do not know what the intention of the “news” organization is, but it is clearly inflammatory.

      Remind me what was the lawful order in “I’m going to put a bullet in your head”?

        Idiot who thinks the response to the article should be to argue semantics of why the teenager was fatally shot instead of expressing outrage that the teenager was fatally shot at all =/= liberal.

        Stop lumping people you think are stupid together into your single idea of a group you don’t like. I’m a liberal and the person you replied to was an idiot.

          The teenager should not have been shot at all, indeed. Fascist police killed a person for shits and giggles.
