When they show up at a "protest" rally with weapons, helmets, masks shields and body armor they should immediately be told to leave. If they don't leave peacefully they should be arrested.
As a side note, whoever the judge was that agreed at the last minute to move the permitted protest location was an idiot who should be thrown off the bench. Also the lies of the Virginia governor that his State Police were "out equipped" by the protesters and so they let a lot of the violence proceed unimpeded while they watched should not be repeated. The lessons states and localities should draw from the Charlottesville fiasco is that people who engage in violence need to be arrested immediately.
In Charlottesville they did not follow the instructions of their permit. Local authorities weren't ready.
The best way to handle provocateurs is to refuse to be provoked. But counter-protestors are going to come out in droves. Just what the Nazis want.
It's going to be a nightmare. I'm just very happy we've already destroyed our history in New Orleans. We have no history now!
Did the alt-left have a permit?
They descended on that park and went all over, not where their leaders had initially agreed to go.

I know the folks who are "down with the cause" will readily accept a stronger police presence that cracks down on any violence or threats of violence or the use of force to maintain the right to "hate speech." They're reasonable folks.
The actions of organized groups can be anticipated and planned for. Crazy solo actors not so much.
