That’s an example of media liaisons doing a good job. As a general rule, the police are likely to harass or raid a space to the extent to which they’ve succeeded in demonizing the occupants in the media in advance. Media liaisons who can deflect media efforts to represent anarchists as a threat can diminish, however minimally, the ease with which police can repress them.
This is a totally distinct issue from whether anarchists are actually able to pose a threat to state and capital.
