I would prefer the police withdraw at all of these sites until the situation gets so bad citizens call for them to clean house.

I would tend to agree but that leaves decent citizens at the mercy of the scumbaggers.

Yes, for a while. The world view of left wing radicals and how to achive their goals is to smash the facist state with a people's revolution. In order to do that, they need to tear the mask of the facist state, and show the people what it really is. Then the people will join them in revolution. In their minds they have to provoke the state.

So, what if they want to fight against their facist opressors, and their opressors don't show up? Since dynamics of left wing protest and activism is based on being attention whores, ignoring them is the worst thing you can do. Ignore them and either they will go away, up the ante, or lastly come up with some real goals and plans. (Just kidding about the last one)

If the police don't take the bait, they will have to up the ante. By doing so they will tear the mask off, but their own mask, not the state's.
