Police man dresses as a woman with hijab to escape during riot over shooting to death of teenager, Nahel M, in Nanterre, France.
Following the death of young Nahel, 17, in Nanterre, many public figures take the floor. Among them, Mathieu Kassovitz posted a video on social networks in which he does not hide his emotion. But above all, the director of the film “La Haine” appears in tears. He declares: “Hello, sad day that this one with the death of Nahel yesterday, killed by a gendarme, we see in the videos, I speak to you here because I start to receive requests for interviews, and I feel that if I put my hand in it…”
As a reminder, the drama took place Tuesday morning, around 8:30 a.m., in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine). Police officers asked the driver of a yellow Mercedes who had committed several traffic offenses to stop for a check. The young man first stopped his vehicle, was then pointed at by a policeman who was standing on the side of the vehicle, before restarting. At that precise moment, the officer shot the driver once at point-blank range, and the car ended up a few meters away, embedded in a pole.
Before continuing with emotion: “Apparently there are some who still have not understood that they are young people in front, they are sons, they are not thugs, criminals, they have no armed”. “The police are still untrained, they’re freaking out, all that kind of stuff, why the police blunders happened, they’re not angels either, obviously, but the problem is that “We will never resolve these issues until we condemn the police,” continued Mathieu Kassovitz. The director also takes the opportunity to call on politicians to take their responsibilities.
The young Nahel died shortly after being hit, despite the intervention of the Samu who gave him cardiac massage on the spot. “His death was pronounced at 9:15 a.m. following at least one gunshot wound,” said the prosecution. Subsequently, the police claimed that the victim had “ran into an officer”, but this version was denied by a video filmed by a witness, which seems to show no real danger for the policeman who was aiming at the driver.
