Thousands of people took to the streets of a Paris suburb on Thursday for a silent march to remember a French teen killed by police during a traffic stop. The protest, led by the victim's mother, comes as 40,000 police are mobilised across the country in response to violent unrest that followed the shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M.

"No justice, no peace," the crowds chanted, adding: "Everyone hates the police!".
