Often, standing and watching is the best way to catch these idiots ... Gather the evidence and then pay them a 5am visit in a week or two when they think the heat's off.

Certainly it is usually safer to come after them when they are done rioting - less chance of anyone getting hurt in the ruck. Naturally the polis are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they wade in and people get hurt, it's police brutality. If they bide their time, collect useful evidence and make arrests after the rioting is finished, they are slow to react, incompetent, etc etc etc.
