"French Protests Escalate as Police Shooting of Teen Sparks Nationwide Outrage"

France prepares for further protests following the police shooting of a teenager during a traffic stop, which President Emmanuel Macron called "unforgivable." The shooting, initially reported as self-defense, was contradicted by a video showing the officers standing by the stationary car before one fired at point-blank range as the car drove off. The incident has sparked outrage and grief, with protests erupting in Paris suburbs and celebrities and politicians expressing their concerns. The officer involved has been taken into custody and is under investigation for voluntary manslaughter, while the government has deployed 2,000 riot police to handle potential unrest.
