Katja Kipping, leader of Germany's Left Party, which supported the Blockupy actions, stressed that "Most people demonstrated peacefully. Unfortunately not everyone stuck to the consensus for the action. We want that to change."

Reminds me of 1999 in Seattle, when the police let the trashers alone and pepper sprayed the non violent people sitting on the sidewalks.
