Riot police in Paris have fired tear gas as scattered protesters pelted them with debris and set fires during an unauthorised demonstration against racial injustice and heavy-handed police tactics.
Several thousand people had previously rallied peacefully for two hours at the main Paris courthouse as global outrage over what happened to George Floyd in the US kindled frustrations across borders and continents.
The protesters also paid tribute to Adama Traore, a French black man who died in police custody.

Adama Traoré’s death in police custody casts long shadow over French society
Young man’s death in custody has become one of France’s most high-profile cases of alleged police brutality

I don’t know if Traore is the name of the person that I mentioned before - I am seeking a meme that juxtaposed a photo of Chauvin with his knee on Floyd’s neck right next to a pic of a French police officer with his knee on some other man’s neck - they look near exactly the same.
I can’t find any pics of Traore that might match this or other details on his death yet ... but I’ve not really dug much. The meme I saw was definitely wrong in that it actually had a May date in 2020 for the French event - which wasn’t right ... but if it was May 2017 or earlier than that ... then it would be interesting to compare these two for real.

Correction: as Antifa/Anarchist/Socialist protests spread around the world.
Does this global outrage remind you of a certain film that outraged a world of Muslims in 2012 and resulted in the burning of a US embassy and the murder of the occupants? Because it really kind of reminds ME of that.
