With Trump out and Biden in, they are in for a rude wake-up in 2021. After you arrest and don't go easy on the ring-leaders, the rest of the "LARPers" will decide that they aren't invested enough to go to prison.
Like Vice President Harris said, “...everyone beware, because they are not gonna stop...and they should not...”
The video you posted was talking about protesting in June 2020. It is now March 2021 (almost one year later--yes). Americans have a Constitutional right to protest. This thread is not about protest. It is about a bunch of thugs taking over a city block. Do you see the difference? Or, do you feel Americans do not have the right to protest? Unfortuneatly, for you (assuming you live in America), we do not live in an authoritarian state.

I wish that were true but I have read that the Biden Justice Dept. has been dropping charges against the Antifa rioters who were charged federally under the Trump admin. for attempting to burn down the federal building in Portland.
The depressing fact is that Antifa fills a useful role for the Democrats by lending the all-important "cool" factor to left wing politics. The left leaning under 30 demographic who romanticize and sympathize with Antifa is crucial, not just for their votes but for the outsized influence they wield over social media and as Big Tech insiders.
The days of me caring what goes on in a liberal city are long over. They can do whatever they want. Defund the police, I don’t care. Ban all incarceration, I don’t care. Let criminals roam free.
I no longer think of America in the national sense. It’s all about my local area and protecting what we have.
This is where I am now, the city politicians enables these types of craziness, let them deal with it.
