The benders have made offensive moves against the anit-benders, attacking a group of chi blockers, which I have yet to see them say is a crime. Yes they are all for Amon, but the benders flat out attacked them with no warning, and gave them no chance.
The benders who attacked the chi blockers were for all intends and purposes pretty much a swat team. If police storms a house full of terrorists/gang members/what have you they don't knock on the door and ask to duel each other 1 on 1 either.

The benders control the city in every way, it seems like all the leaders are benders, and they many of them want to be heavily aggressive against Amon, who at this point in the show has only attacked 2 known innocent people, that being Korra and whats his face firebender. The other people he went after were gang members and leaders(and the unfortunate idiot who is awesome).
While Amon's people do not have any authority to just straight up attack and kidnap others, not even if they are criminals, then taking away something they were born with. Imagine a group of 10 people surrounding, then subduing you, then cutting off your right arm.
Yes Korra attacked the gang members too, and she would have gotten in trouble for it if not for Tenzin, BUT at least where I am from, attacking someone to protect someone else or yourself directly, the shop owners in this case, is perfectly okay as long as the amount of force used is not excessive, i.e. not shooting someone in the face who tries to steal your lollipop. So the only thing she should have gotten in trouble for was the collateral damage to the buildings and so on.
