Event background:

On the 27th local time, in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris, France, a Polizeiman shot and killed a 17-year-old boy. The live video released on social media showed that the teenager was stopped by the Polizei for violating traffic rules, and then continued to drive without following the Polizei's instructions, and was shot dead by the Polizei.
