And the way police forces in Europe deal with this is collect all the video evidence (even if they are masked, they can often be tracked down using all the security footage until at some point they take the mask off) and then quietly arrest them after the fact.Â
Besides there have been over 2000 arrests last I checked. That includes the guy they suspect torched the Limogenes historic building. He was arrested yesterday.Â
It's not worth risking the lives of officers and having a lot of police end up disabled with injuries and trauma, that is also very expensive and it takes a long time to train capable police officers. That's why the government is promising compensation to shopkeepers.Â
