black bloc

rightwing pissants, police cadet wannabes and neo-nazi skinheads who pose as anarchists and smash up stuff at protests in order to justify security crackdowns, roughly the same political agenda as the blackshirts and brownshirts of the 1930s.

If the black bloc weren't pissants, they'd do their thing on their own, rather than during peaceful demonstrations.
At summit conferences in Genoa, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, the 'black bloc' was abetted by police.
