The fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old, identified as Nahel, near Paris has sparked unrest in French suburbs, with protesters causing damage. It raises concerns about France's progress since the 2005 riots. The incident, captured on video, highlights tensions between police and disadvantaged youth. Calls for stricter regulations on police weapon use have emerged.
