The French government announced on June 29 that 40,000 police officers will be deployed across the country after rioters heavily damaged public property amid widespread outrage over the deadly police shooting of a teenage boy.
The unrest in the country comes after 17-year-old Nahel M. was shot dead by a police officer during a traffic stop in Nanterre, just outside Paris, on June 27. The deadly encounter was captured on video.
