Do communist parties disavow this stuff to save their own skins and avoid reprisals? I’m not saying that would excuse it, just trying to understand what’s going on here.
Sometimes this and sometimes just because they are snobbish pricks who are mad that the riot is being done incorrectly, as though that is an indictment of literally anything other than the failure of the organizers to channel the unrest more effectively (i.e. it's not the fault of the rioters struggling to do something).
Oh yeah, and like awoo said sometimes it's tailist bullshit to pander to reactionaries.
You can simply not say anything, while pushing for some flavor of police reform/thorough cleaning. You don't need to repeat the almost dogwhistle "burning shit down is bad and uncivil". Shut up and talk about how all the Vichy police commanders died without ever standing trial or shit like that

They do it to not be pushed even further into political irrelevancy
