Its a vicious cycle, unfortunately. The more rioting and violent protest goes on the streets, the more they will empower the police and thus even more chance for future brutality.

If the police ignore hooliganism on the streets, it just invites more hooliganism.

If the police brutally put down hooliganism, it also invites more hooliganism.

Probably, the right solution involves better policing of police, and throwing out the bad apples. But police culture is very insular, and their labor unions have quite a bit of political power. They protect their own. So, that's easier said than done.

It's quite a catch-22 situation.
