Rei, the WHole Foods store in question was handing out bottles of water to
the protesters, so the violence was definitely not perpetuated by the
general protesters on their agreement and disagreement with Whole Foods.

There are recording of those "Black Bloc" setting up road blocks and the
protesters tried to take them down. When we were there on Wednesday, a
group of them (before we knew them as Black Bloc) was calling for people to
occupy an empty building. My wife's first reaction was "Why?" and of course
we did not participate and only a hundred or so of them, mostly of the
Black Bloc, went there. Turns out that the police raid was to kick them out.
