French authorities confirmed that a protest against police violence set to take place in Paris on Saturday could not go ahead due to police shortages. NGOs say the ban signals a “more and more repressive” approach from authorities.

Ever hear the term “Agent provocateur”?
Yes I have and that was basically the point of my comment.
It isn’t the protestors burning shit it’s other bad actors. But whether it’s the protestors burning stuff or the other bad actors is really irrelevant. Either way stuff is getting damaged so there needs to be a police presence.
Why would they arrest their own undercover agents?
The police presence is to arrest (violently) anyone who tries to stop the agents provocateur.
If you miss the chance you have to set more small businesses on fire.
why, what are they going to do, arrest the fire? Shoot at it?
How about arrest the arsonist?
