I agree the French authorities have been too indecisive, relucctant
to deploy or use force.
Maybe the French are trying to demonstrate some new way
of dealing with insurgents or terrorists, it seems more like
their usual debility.
How did the LA riots end? The LA riots ended when people had looted most of the stuff that was in the area. I don't think massive military campaigns solve everything.
It's important to consider what these and other riots are actually about.

It sounds like class, race and police abuse issues are the main causes.
