Outside the framework of self-defense a force that is not proportionate and leads to tragedy can be the subject of a criminal conviction for police officers." According to the law "someone who drives off with a vehicle and does not threaten anyone with death with his vehicle cannot be shot," stressed Cazeneuve "This law was passed in the specific circumstances of the 2015 and 2016 terrorist attacks [in Paris and Nice] when the question arose as to how police officers could interrupt a terrorist's murderous journey." 5:21 pm – Police officer charged with voluntary manslaughter and remanded in custody The police officer who fatally shot 17-year-old Nahel M on Tuesday was charged for voluntary manslaughter on Thursday and remanded in custody said the Nanterre public prosecutor's office prosecutor Pascal Prache said he had requested the officer be remanded in custody "The prosecutor's office considers the legal conditions for using the weapon have not been met," the magistrate told reporters 5:11 pm – The rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris urges 'not to react with violence' and anger are legitimate" following the death of Nahel M but he "particularly calls on young people not to react with violence."
