Officials in France are deploying 45,000 police officers and armored vehicles as a fourth night of riots approaches stemming from a fatal police involved shooting of a teenager during a traffic stop.
The unrest has hit many cities in France including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg and Lille.
Nahel M., a 17-year-old was shot and killed by police in the Nanterre suburb of Paris. The incident was captured on video, and ignited the riots that are being seen around the European country.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that 270 people were arrested on Friday night, with a total of 1,100 people arrested since the protests began.
France is in trouble. The scale of these riots is moving into unchartered territory. If there was a mass uprising even their military would struggle to contain it. Has a new #Revolution begun in France and will WEF #Macron keep his cool or will he 'lose his head'
