Of course. It's not like we don't think that they are using tactics that are counterproductive.
This is a binary argument. In reality, activists use a variety of techniques and tactics, even the so-called "violent" ones.

I dunno, they go to jail for being stupid morons?
I'm sorry, but participating in the black bloc is not an entry drug that leads to the Weather Underground or the SLA.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
