Take the student protests in The Netherlands for example. The second someone takes a knife or a bat or even a gun to these protests, it's over. You will probably be shot by the riot police. The media will be all over the place trying to demonise you even more. Regardless of the cause you are protesting for.
This isn't some adventurist fantasy. Actual protests and mass movements need organisation, discipline and strategy. Fringe groups trying to fight cops with weapons, however justified they may be, are not going to help your cause in any way.
