BBC is generally centre leaning left. But I see where you are coming from. I think this article does provide balance to the many articles talking about police brutality by showing what these riots, which were not about reforms, can do to a community.

You'll also note the the journalist does not really spin anything here: they use the verbs "to say" and "to tell" when giving quotes. There are no opinions provided by the journalist. It does not sensationalise anything. If I wanted to spin this story, I would have worded the lede like this:

Zartoshte Bakhtiari hasn't slept more than three hours a night since the violent riots erupted in France a week ago.

I think if anything there is a tiny note of French-bashing here, for lack of a better term. It really shows that they shot themselves in the foot and now mayors are petitioning for heightened security.
