Everywhere. Just stop. Who do you think you are? They take these people out of the military, from where they’re basically trained to kill people in various ways, even automated and so forth.

In 2005, two young men — Zyad Benna and Bouna Traoré — died as they tried to flee a police checkpoint in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. In the weeks of riots that followed, youths in the suburbs fought running battles with police and on some nights, dozens were arrested and hundreds of cars torched. Like Nahel M., Benna and Traoré were from immigrant backgrounds, and their deaths fomented a sense of injustice among many.
