I would say there agent provocateurs.

You must live in a very quiet place.

Over the years I've seeny mobs burning cars along the streets, breaking windows and attacking policemen with molotov cocktails, maces and other improvised weapons.

True: there are a few "professional" provocateurs among them. You can usually spot them easily because they have their faces covered and sometimes they even wear gas masks so that the tear gases don't affect them. But nobody ever thinks of using lethal force against them.

You can charge them, spray them with water or an irritating agent, use disabling gases or beat them to pulp...

But the very moment some of them hit the bucket, whether by accident or -worse- because some policemen uses a service weapon, they're turned into martyrs.

Modern society has its rules. You may argue that we've grown overcomplacent to mass hysteria phenomena like violent protesting but you cannot simply choose to ignore said rules. One of these rules is that "law" is supposed to lead by example, not to trade an eye for an eye.
