I think as long as most of the protests don't end up in violence and shop lootings they could stay.

What do you say to evidence that plainclothes police officers are tasked with infiltrating protests and stirring up shit?
In France, in most of the cases you don't need police officer for it, some people are willing to donage bank or fight with the police (especially after police overreacting, or being violent for free)
The fact is you don't know how will end up protest... And even when a protest end up damaging 1 mac donalds and 2 banks, most people are pacific protester... The question is how do you handle this in a democracy ?
That’s not how protests work though, is it?
