I can tell you, from the noise I could hear my corner of the 15th arrondissement, there was a lot of anger in the city of Paris last night. It was a night of sirens and loud bangs. It’s easy to say “just rioting scumbags” or « racaille » but no, the kids are right to be angry and we need to listen.

But I doubt anything will change, because most politicians in France and the US are white and/or relatively wealthy and will never suffer the consequences of police violence personally.
