    As usual media over here is hyper focussed on highlighting some looting being done instead of why a 17 year old innocent person was shot and killed

    Police stations burned in Montpellier, Reims and Orléans, while across France protesters also commandeered construction equipment to smash surveillance cameras or break into and loot stores in a number of cities. There were several unconfirmed reports of BRI units opening fire on protesters with live ammunition, including near the Old Port in Marseille. Police helicopter units were deployed in Marseille, across the northern Paris area, and beyond.
