France is on edge as it braces for more rioting following the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old in a Paris suburb. Tens of thousands of officers have been deployed to the streets, and transport services closed down early for safety reasons. The shooting has reignited long-standing tensions between police and young people in disadvantaged neighborhoods, with complaints of racial profiling and harassment. The officer involved in the shooting has been charged with voluntary homicide, and two magistrates are leading the investigation. The violence has resulted in injuries to both police officers and civilians, as well as damage to public buildings.
