The widespread suspicion across France that a teenager’s unprovoked fatal shooting by a police officer on June 27 was an injustice unleashed several days of riots in late June and early July. That situation is compounded by the deep-rooted feeling of marginalization experienced by minorities and in particular those of African descent. These minorities share common economic and social challenges, including insecurity and a lack of educational and economic opportunities. I had firsthand experience with that reality growing up in France as a son of immigrants from Algeria.
