It’s infuriating for me. Because all over social media you had people calling for “law and order”, basically saying police should use more force.

The french interior minister even called the people celebrating “barbarians”, which apart from being ignorant and problematic, also definitely had racist undertones since lots of the celebrations were coming from the poorer “banlieus” (immigrant neighbourhoods that are highly policed and have super high poverty rates).

Edit: I was wrong, see the other comments.

The TV5 monde link I pasted above reports that the Dax incident is still related to the PSG celebrations.
