Joseph Lim :mastodon:<p>The recent killing of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NahelMerzouk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NahelMerzouk</span></a> by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Frenchpolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Frenchpolice</span></a> made me want to watch the 2022 biographical series <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Oussekine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oussekine</span></a> on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Disneyplus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disneyplus</span></a>. In 1986, the 22 year old Malik Oussekine was beaten to death in cold blood by French police and the series showed how the minister then tried to cover-up the police's crime. Now, in 2023, French police has shortened the life of 17 year old <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nahel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nahel</span></a> and even lied about what happened. What has changed, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/France" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>France</span></a>? Liberté, égalité, fraternité seems to ring hollow! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justice</span></a></p>
