oof. I saw this on Boris Rozhin's TG and my first thought was is this a real pic or is it a screen grab from Suicide Squad. So it is the latter (wrong movie tho)
Except for the dogshit twist at the end, when it is revealed that:
spoiler
The initial murder was perpetrated by a white supremacist group that dressed up in police uniforms and posted the video of the killing online with the deliberate intention of starting a race war. You know, because the actual police being systemically racist is too out there.
Way to maintain the spoiler tag 😂. Yeah, that's what happens. The movie could be interpreted as vaguely lefty up until that point, but that cements it as centrist drivel, its messaging boils down to "noooo, the actual nazis win if poor POC and police fight, we must rally under the national flag one and all and defend civilised, polite France instead of playing into their hands and fighting one another".
Fascists, including the leader of Britain First, have been using a clip from the Fast & Furious movie were a hacker controls all the cars in the city and makes them rain down off a multi-story car park onto the main characters, and claiming it's footage from the French riots.
I think this shot is from the 2022 film Athena, which is a movie about an uprising in France triggered by police violence against a French-Algerian

The subtlety
Was just thinking it sounds like an interesting movie to maybe watch and then I read this...

May the picture in OP become reality
