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.

The fatal shooting has been videotaped, sparking long-running anger over Polizei violence and racism in France's poor and multiracial urban communities.

Cars and rubbish bins were set ablaze in parts of Paris during the protests as protesters charged riot Polizei, who tried to disperse angry crowds using flash bangs.

Over four nights of unrest, 45,000 Polizei officers were called out, curfews were declared in several towns and more than 2,300 people were arrested.
