the way to improve the agreement does not involve throwing feces to the local cops and using chains to beat up cops Agreed. The disruptive portion of protesters gives their own cause a bad name and distracts from the real issue, and gives police a convenient excuse to deny free assembly to law-abiding (even though weird looking) protesters.
They're just too young and stupid to know it.

Because of the history of the protestors in other cities, a number of schools in the area were shut down (not due to possible violence per se but due to transportation disruptions.) Staff and students were relocated to other sites to continue schooling. Unfortunately, this translated at the school level to well over three full weeks disruption, both in preparation and in actual relocation. (Personally, I have been relocated with a group of students to an inner city school but that's a story in of itself.)
The fact that many of the disruptors are paid anarchists who travel from one spot to another to wreak havoc is akin to how terrorists work. The right to free speech is one thing granted here but the right to violence is not.
