We went over this in Contemporary Issues class today.
From what I recall and from what I gather from this article, two teenage boys of African descent were electrocuted as they climbed some fence when the police were chasing them. Arabs and Africans blame the police for what happened because apparently there's a lot of race-related issues over there. Protests broke out in areas of poverty and with high populations of Africans and Arabs. Buildings, cars, etc. have been damaged, destroyed and burnt. It's crazy stuff.
I didn't know about the concept of "French unity" until class today. Apparently, in school no one is allowed to wear symbols of religion or anything like that. Muslim girls can't even wear their veils.
