I will have a best effort look for an old article but I cant guarantee anything.

They wanted the cop, or at worst the building to burn. Peaceful protests were never going to achieve either. They managed 1/2.
That to organise effective action on the ground, smart protesters were distracting the anti violence bleeding hearts while discussing and implementing more effective actions.
In particular it was stated that part of those particular riots were a distraction to (successfully iirc) lure the cops away from the police station.
