A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.

The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.

    You seem to be missing the part where they threw an explosive into a crowd of people.

        From my perspective this wasn’t a ‘luck’ situation.

        A criminal assaulted a crowd of people with explosives. It’s just a coincidence that the criminal is a cop in this case. It’s not ‘unlucky’ that they were assaulted.
