<p>As France saw a third consecutive night of riots on Thursday due to a mounting crisis caused by the fatal shooting of a teenager of Algerian-Moroccan descent by police, videos on social media showed multiple fires and arsons on French streets.</p>

<p>But in the moments of deadly violence, a scene of peace amid chaos was captured which quickly went viral on social media.
