a racist attack in paris after the match hapoel tel-aviv - PSG

racially based violence in paris after hapoel tel-aviv won the uefa cup match 4-2 against paris saint-germain, the 23 novemmber 2003.

a french black officer, originally from the caribbean, was trying to protect a french jew from the gang of PSG supporters. he was confronted with a horde of extremely excited, extremely violent and extremely aggressive people. they were shouting 'death to the jew','filthy jew' and 'filthy black, we're going to get you. the police officer responded with tear gas, but was knocked to the ground by a blow to the head and kick to the stomach,he then drew his gun and opened fire.the officer's aggressors were 50 centimeters to one meter away when a single shot was fired.the two men who were shot were members of PSG's far-right fan base that has a notorious violent and racist history. the police officer and the hapoel fan, eventually sought refuge in a nearby fast-food restaurant until police reinforcements arrived.

a few questions that the french media doesn't deal with:
-what did mounir bouchaer, the wounded aggressor, apparently an arab, in the middle of a group of psg's white racist fans?
-where were the colleagues of the black policeman during the attack?
-why there where no police forces in the porte de saint-cloud metro after the match?
-why there are no testimonies of mac donald's staff or clients?
-why the names of the victims, the policeman and the young jew, have been published?


here you can see the attackers outside of the mac donald's in porte de saint-cloud



here you can see the victims inside the mac donald's climbing to the second floor, to protect themselves. the person in the end with the white pullover is probably the black policeman who shot one of the attackers.
