Why would they do this and not just continue to use riot police and tire the protesters out, as has recently been done with success in France?

That seems to be what they are doing.

University starts again soon and it is expected that the protests will loose steam.

That's a boring story so people don't talk about it.

Do you have any sources for the 'tire out' and 'with succes' in France?

Because from my view, they are still going strong.
