A shocking video of an officer firing at and killing a delivery driver of north African descent triggered nationwide protests.
"For 40, 45 years there have been warning signs about discrimination," says Abel Boyi, head of a group called "All Unique, All United" that aims to reconcile young people with France and its republican values.
Police officer Walid Hrar says, however, that the relationship between France's forces of law and order and disadvantaged neighborhoods he works in isn't as broken as the rioting made it seem. That was in 2004. France was swept by rioting the following year. He has spent his career in Paris' northern suburbs where that violence first erupted, when 15-year-old Bouna Traoré and 17-year-old Zyed Benna were electrocuted while hiding from police in a power substation in Clichy-sous-Bois.
