Because clearly they were prepared and not just in Seattle. Also why is HS on the scene? Do the Black block people look like undercover cops? Are they? Are they libertarian assholes? They certainly don't help any non-violent movement with their behavior.

Aside from the banks, there was no reason to be violent. And even attacking banks is iffy.
