French rioting appears to slow on 6th night after teen’s killing by police

Unrest across France< sparked by the police shooting of a 17-year-old appeared to slow on its sixth night, but fires and vandalism continued to target public buildings, cars and municipal trash cans overnight into Monday.
The riots appeared driven by a teenage backlash. The interior minister said the average age of those arrested was 17 and that children as young as 12 or 13 had been detained for attacking law enforcement and setting fires.
In all, according to the Interior Ministry, there were 157 arrests overnight out of a total of 3,354 since last Tuesday, and that two law enforcement stations were attacked, among other damage.
There has been little in the way of organized protests beyond a march last week for Nahel, the teenager killed last Tuesday.
But many activists say the nighttime riots are a lashing out against a French state that many young people with immigrant roots say routinely discriminates against them.
Nahel was of Algerian descent and was shot in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.
