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.

Is it a shame?
The only way this de-escalates is if the police violently repress the protests so hard that dissent is silenced. Which is what Trump wants. Which will only push the country further into authoritarianism.
And the police have shown themselves completely unwilling to self-interrogate their actions, and truly see themselves as the victim in this situation, justifying their reaction.
Honestly, I think the only way through this is down. There needs to be a violent insurrection from the left. Revolution is the ONLY way to enact societal change at this point.
