original video here.
the officer shot the driver when he decided to hit the gas while a gun was pointed at him.
I don't know why the officer had pointed the gun at the driver in the first place or if that move was justified.
I think there is more to the story.
France's problems stem from certainly racism, but also from disrespect for authority, and this isn't just from immigrants and their descendants. More and more homegrown riffraff rebels just against anything and thinks it can just do as it pleases, while toxic politicians from both extremes play them and cultivate any "anti" behaviour.
Already 30 years ago it wasn't advisable to drive a nice car because it was likely to get damaged in cities by jealous people.
The sum of France's problems is probably enough to keep hordes of sociologists and psychologists occupied for years and to fill thousands of pages of analysis.
But France needs to get out of that smelly pit of jealousy, extremist idealism, excessive underdog mentality, "anti" stance and whatever. It has been destroying France since the middle of the seventies.
Bring back common sense, sensible laws, respect for institutions (but that respect has to be earned), industry, work ethics, etc.
