I hope, that both sides, the protesters and police force will find a way, to exit that spiral of violence. But right now it looks like this won't happen. It's a shame.
If the state acts harder against protesters, journalists and civilian bystanders it will only fuel their anger. Leading to more violence, used by the state to issue a even worse crackdown than now. And so on and so on.
The only hope that I have is, that other politicians from all parties will stand up against that.

The two sides are massively unequal in terms of power, the onus is on the police to stop the violence.
This is certainly not true except on an individual scale.
> the onus is on the police to stop the violence.
The onus is on every individual. On each side.
