French Police Officer Charged with Manslaughter after Killing Teenager, Collection for Officer Raises Over €986,000

A collection for a French policeman who shot and killed a teenager has raised over €986,000, while a collection for the teenager's family has raised €189,000.

The policeman's supporters have been using Gofundme.com to raise money, while the teenager's family has received support from the public on social media.

The shooting has caused widespread rioting and division in France, with some politicians condemning the support for the policeman as "indecent" and "scandalous." The officer has been charged with manslaughter and is currently in detention.

A police officer in France has shot a man named Nahel at point-blank range as his car drove away.

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne stated that the operation was not in line with the rules of engagement for police.

Another teenager in the car reported that the officers had hit Nahel with the butts of their guns before opening fire, and a voice can be heard on a video saying "You are going to get a bullet in the head." The officer involved faces charges of making false statements as he initially claimed he opened fire when Nahel drove towards him.
