France was shaken by what appeared to be a case of police brutality. Riots quickly erupted in Paris, and the police's repressive system was called into question. It wasn't until 1996 that the inspector was found responsible for the young man's death and convicted. The policeman's last words at the trial were: "May this tragedy at least serve as a lesson to my colleagues. Never again." A look back at the event that inspired Mathieu Kassovitz's film "La Haine." **** Information about comments **** On YouTube channels, you are free to express your opinion, even if it is critical.
