Good question, Caissa, and to ask it in another way: Is the violence of the state so legitimized that any non-state violence in an organized way, even symbolic violence at a protest that doesn't cause death or harm to people, seen as always being not legitimate? So the structures of oppression that violently affect people's lives every day here in Canada, for example, must be met with politeness and reasonableness, always?
