It's more than that. You get anarchist "types" (must watch my wording, my anarchist friends have tantrums) who in fact instigate trouble, but if it's one asshole, cops will act out towards the whole crowd. The peaceful protestor who went to the demo leaves there thinking all cups suck, they have attitude at the next protest, etc....and the cycle continues.

[conspiracy]It was actually quite common in 1960s and 70s movements for the government to insert operatives into Leftist movements, ya know, divide and conquer...? I've heard stories of 2 people starting to throw rocks at a protest, everybody getting arrested, but then 2 people ironically never getting booked or charged or even processed. I wouldn't put it past the government, since the waves of demonstrations we're seeing now are only comparable to those of back then, IMO.[/conspiracy]
