Fundraiser For Police Officer Who Killed French Teenager Raises € 1M

A view of GoFundMe fund to support police officer Florian M. A row has broken out over a collection for the family of the French police officer under investigation for shooting dead a 17-year-old that has topped more than € 1m in donations. A similar collection to help the family of the victim, Nahel M, killed a week ago in Nanterre outside Paris after being stopped by two motorcycle patrol officers, has collected less than € 200,000. The shooting last Tuesday led to a wave of rioting and violence across France and worsened deep political divisions. Protesters clash with riot police in Marseille on Friday after the shooting of a teenager in a Paris suburb on Tuesday ‘We are seen as less human’: inside Marseille’s districts abandoned by the police. The collection for the 38-year-old officer named as Florian M was organised by Jean Messiha, a former spokesperson for the far-right presidential candidate E ric Zemmour, with an initial target of € 50,000.

I don't know, because everything in our hand belonged to the serf owners." In 1959, democratic reform was launched and feudal serfdom was finally abolished in Tibet. A million serfs and slaves were emancipated, and 20-year-old Losang Zhamdu was one of them. In the 1960s, with the help of his neighbors, Losang Zhamdu built his second home - a "two-bedroom" f
