Does in fighting on the left make the cops job easier?

Hi

I am fairly new to this and reading the guidelines i am aware that this isn't news as such so sorry if I am breaking the rules.
However, I started reading the Indymedia newswire over the summer keeping in touch with what was happening in Ireland while i was in England.
It just strikes me that with all the in-fighting and accusations flying all over the place between the whole spectrum of the left in Ireland, does that not make the cops job easier?
Obviously they keep an eye on what goes on here and probably like other forces across Europe and the world they infiltrate groups etc. So with all the fighting amongst ourselves do people not think that the cops are sitting back laughing at it all while everyone does thier job for them, ie, stopping the progress of the left because no one can agree on anything because of the squabbling which means that a force to be reckoned with isn't being built?
Just wondering what people think?

Thanks for you time
Siobhan
