Do you believe the state and police are honestly having a hard time dealing with this mess and publicly communicating with each other by twitter and pressers?

Of course. French politicians are notoriously shit at dealing with social conflicts. Think "fighting fire with gasoline" shit. And yes their communication skills are terrible.
And french police is notoriously bad at remaining professional and proportionate. Regardless of who is protesting. Even more since they are already exhausted from the last social strife in feb-march.
The problem is how they can restore law and order before it gets worse (like in 2005) and without causing another violent death among teenagers. Which would start a new cycle.
Right, so you'll be happy with whatever solution the state introduces, as long as the organic, 3rd gen rioting and burnings stop. If you are not, you will just "voTe THeM oUT nEXt tiMe."
You are being conned, but to each his own I guess.
