French Prez Emmanuel Macron got his groove on Thursday night in Paris, as rioters hit the streets protesting a police shooting that killed a 17-year-old.

Macron and his wife hit up Elton John‘s Farewell Tour in Paris, seeming at least on the surface unbothered by the explosion of violence in his country.
The riots were triggered by a confrontation Tuesday in the city of Nanterre, who French police fatally shot a driver in the chest … after the 17-year-old tried to leave the scene.
Rioters hit the streets in several cities. So far more than 600 hundred people have been arrested for starting fires, looting and other crimes.

Macron has said the riots are just an excuse to commit crimes, calling it “an unacceptable exploitation of the adolescent’s death.”
Some rioters have compared the police shooting to the George Floyd murder.
The officer has been charged with voluntary homicide.
