...where violence erupted earlier this month because of the alleged rape of a young black man by police.

I find this totally unbelievable, myself. Even if a cop were disposed to that sort of thing, trying it on a potentially infected individual from sub-Saharan Africa in that community would seem suicidal, at best.

The story has obviously been big in France and the BBC picked up on it some.

The media in this country ?????

President Hollande visited the man in the hospital and was pictured with “Theo” and a police officer has been arrested.
