Some of the usual tactic they use: criminals recently released from prison (f.e. a guy who killed a French football fan before some international football match was seen among them) attack ordinary people with fireworks and beat them with batons. When citizens try to defend themselves, respond, or even just ask the police for help - while the police stand by and watch - that is when the officers begin the kind of beatings you’ve seen in the videos, before arresting those same (often already injured) people.

With much of the prosecution and judiciary under the control of the same cartel, those arrested often remain in prison for some time afterward.
