Then actually oppress them. Then they won’t actually step out of line…

Ahh yes violently oppressing massive groups of people has always worked so well in the past.

FYI it wouldn't work, all it would do is galvanise the people being oppressed. Riots like this are a failure of the government and the only way to stop them from happening is to not fail the people.

You think all this looting would of happened if the French government had listened to the original student protests and implemented changes instead of throwing stun grenades and rubber bullets at them?

Violence begets violence.
