We pray for France where protests have erupted after police shot dead a 17-year-old boy on Tuesday. The officer who opened fire is now under formal investigation for homicide. More than 600 people have been arrested in France. Fires, damage to public property and clashes with police have been reported, leaving several people injured. There is a concern about police violence and systemic racism inside the country. President Macron announced a crisis meeting on Friday afternoon and denounced the violence in several cities as unjustifiable.
