Rioters need to die. That is the proper course of action for dealing with rioters. Open season. No limit.
You’ve got to give rioters a metaphorical whiff o’ the grape to get them to understand the game they’re playing and if a few must die they bring it to themselves. The French police seem to understand this better than US. You have to put THEM on their knees and make them kneel for an hour or be beaten. That’s how you dominate.
But really, shooting a few “pour l’encourager les autres” is “de rigeur” for any riot.
