Senegalese: Police and Street

senegalese: The report says the three officers were treated for their injuries and riot police were deployed to the central Madrid neighbourhood of Lavapies, according to Metro News. Demonstrators last week rioted and threw stones at police after a 35-year-old Senegalese hawker died of cardiac arrest in the street. Spanish news agency Europa Press cites unnamed police sources as saying officers were checking the identity of a Senegalese street hawker when a group began insulting them Wednesday afternoon. Controversy surrounded his death, with some Senegalese street vendors and activists criticizing police aggressiveness while clamping down on hawkers. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
