Calls to overhaul the police go back decades. But violent episodes of police enforcement continue. So do violent outpourings on the street.

Years before France was inflamed with anger at the police killing of a teenager during a traffic stop, there was the notorious Théo Luhaka case.

Mr. Luhaka, 22, a Black soccer player, was cutting through a known drug-dealing zone in his housing project in a Paris suburb in 2017 when the police swept in to conduct identity checks.

    The most annoying thing about Europe as a whole is they’re denialist attitude about racism. The general thinking is either, real racism only exists in America or I’m not a nazi so I can’t be racist
