I have a friend in Hamburg, and he explained that they burn and destroy small shops if they haven't put up signs saying they are against G20.

This looks like the Purge, if the subtitle was Apocalypse x200

Why is mobilization of the armed forces to protect the homeland against the constitution, lol. Who is gonna protect the people when the power of the police is overwhelmed.

As far as I've seen, the police are using water cannons, CS gas, batons, and similar stuff to stop the rioters. That's not overwhelming force when the rioters are setting vehicles on fire.

That is 100% not true.

Problem this that the police itself actually helped to let the situation escalate. The force is acting extreme aggressive already since the start.

Well, since when does brute force actually resolve problems?
IMHO they should press charges against most of them and the left should firmly condemn the riots.

Be in the field and have molotov cocktails, fireworks/firecrackers and bricks thrown at you and you'll have a different opinion. Trust me, lol.

So the next time they come with AK74's, Rpg-7's and so on? Basic rules of escalation mate.

It's very rare that they would actually arm against them as most protesters don't want to go "that deep". Wesley is right, if you are there and in the shit, you gotta retaliate with shit to disperse them before they strike first. Which bring me to my next point.

Then G36's, MP5's, and possible military action

Basic rules of escalation, but it is always fun to see a bunch of idiots going to violence get crushed by law and order.

Well, I agree though that they acted like idiots. Rioting in my opinion only justifies the other party's actions.
However, my biggest concern in using such an item is that peaceful protesters may be caught in the crossfire, that's what I meant to say. If you can use such tools by focusing only on the rioters, go ahead.
Also, do you agree that the rioters should be sentenced to also clear the mess they made?

Peaceful protesters shouldn't've been hiding armed shooters and if they don't try to hide them, you can't really stop law enforcement. An active shooter is gonna get a bullet, like it or not. Those protesters have gotten this far with all the riot officers have used so far. If they're still there, they're taking the risk.

Also, do you agree that the rioters should be sentenced to also clear the mess they made?

What do you mean? I agree if it's possible that they arrest all the rioters, but realistically that isn't possible. From what I see, it's open warrant season in Hamburg.
