Info: France stun grenade story, where the numbers differ!

I'm French and a mum, so this one hit home! Summary from the GONOM post:

• Interior minister Laurent Nuñez suspended stun grenades at high-school protests after a 15-year-old lost a hand in Lens
• Protests started in late September over teacher shortages, crowded classes and run-down buildings
• Injured police: 761 (Nuñez to MPs, via the Guardian) vs 715 (PM's office, via Al Jazeera)
• Arrests: above 6,600 (Guardian) vs 6,100 (Al Jazeera)
• Both report 215 injured teenagers
• More than 1,800 being prosecuted, including 1,483 minors (Al Jazeera)

The numbers on the teenagers match, at least! Please read the full post, it's worth it!
