[QUOTE=Bent Wookie;3351369]Actually what he did is cite circumstantial, unsubstantiated, wikipedia articles (footnoted to newspapers that clarify the flimsy accusations).

So I wouldn't call those "examples" because if that's all one has, its pretty weak at best.

I would suggest, most major police forces do send undercover operators into demonstrations, peaceful protest or even riots. There are several reasons for this, but I would think what you suggest isn't even or is rarely on the list.[QUOTE]

Now of course the police denied they were there to instigate violence, except they were filmed at the protest with rocks in their hands.

You know COINTELPRO was a real program right?

Alot of times, the agent provocateurs will be filmed on camera trying to sneak behind police lines during the protest. It doesn't get any more obvious than that.

You're naive to believe that the police are only there to monitor the groups "just in case" violence breaks out.....but these undercover agents can never seem to prevent violence....
