In France we are used to it whenever there is a riot. Most people will only stay calm and act to spread the message they are fighting for. But some people, usually not even sharing the same fight will join them and start damaging stores, cars, burning stuff, ... And whenever the police tries to get them, they have to attack everyone around it, including "peaceful" rioters.
On the Floyd subject .. It's just the same shit that is happening every now and then. The one thing that goes a little too far, outraging people who feels already abused by others. It will keep happening until the problem is solved. Now I didn't looked too much details into this exact story, and how the media used it, but it seems like the cop was already an experienced killer.
