Police inciting violence

Joe Hill · 03-16-08, 12:22 AM

It happened in Quebec, it has certainly happened here: Peaceful demonstrators subjected to police riots because unidentified "radicals" begin attacking and throwing rocks. They wear ski masks to prevent identification. So our police, charged to "protect and SERVE" us, become jack-booted storm troopers who attack and subdue instead.

Police inciting violence

For over ten years now, I've been writing about and documenting police riots at protests.

It's always the same story:

Undercover police dress up as protesters and incite, or even engage in, violence.

Uniformed police then take advantage of this to assault legitimate protesters, sometimes brutally.

It's the oldest trick in the book and the French have a phrase for it: "Agent Provocateur.

Bizarrely, US protesters NEVER seem to get their heads out of their arses and see it coming no matter how many times it gets pulled on them.

In contrast, one labor leader at the Montebello meeting of the so called "Security and Prosperity Summit" in Quebec earned the title "leader" and not only detected this crap as it was talking place, but confronted the government-employed criminals involved and forced them to stand down.

So your going to tell me you honestly believe that police officers dress up and throw rocks and bottles at police officers just so they can start a disbanning of the protest...really, thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

Wow. I guess when somebody a$$aches about America, I can't justifiably tell them to zip up their bagina and move to Canada.

Maybe you should have properly sub-titled this thread: Police inciting violence: a lesson in propaganda, unfounded accusations, and other radical fuel.

It was, however, quite a coincidence about the boots, though.

Another masterpiece of propaganda by Joe Hill. So, did the provocateurs actually provoke a riot in Quebec? Didn't look like it. Did the cops beat anybody? Nope. So how is this "police inciting violence?"

Andy Roberts has summed this up nicely. All you really need to top this thread off Joe are some wild and zany propaganda poster made up to resemble WW2 posters!

I bet that cop with pepper ball gun would like to shoot you right in your exposed eyeball.

They didn't get the opportunity because they were exposed in time. The black-clad "anarchists" that often appear at peace demos usually stick to property crimes. Often, as at Miami, they don't bother with provocateurs... just attack in good 'ol Jim Crow fashion. Mod should note above request for picture. The Forum obviously misses my suppressed images.

The following has been laboratory approved as appropriate and pertinent to the subject:

... this was actually quite the news story up here in Canada... when the police dressed up as protesters...

YouTube - Stop SPP Protest - Union Leader stops provocateurs

... from CBC news - Quebec police defend undercover officers

Quote:

The police admitted Thursday afternoon that three masked men caught on video Monday afternoon pushing toward a line of riot police, despite protesters' efforts to stop them, were the force's officers.
