Lynching is a sign of lack of or trust in the justice system. France started a process of "lenient punishment", without a court decision, according to external signs, by a spontaneous decision of a government representative. The punishment is carried out "on the spot". They scare the population and the demonstrators. The vast majority of protesters are peaceful. But they have no choice. Or not take part in the demonstrations, or as in the video... P.A. Of course this is an order from above. The police were allowed and given a treat.
