How many protests and riots have you been to? I have been in or around more than a few, and I have never once seen anybody that I would consider an undercover cop starting or doing anything. It has always been clearly a kid or punk or protestor. Clearly.
I've been to a small handful of different protests... and ya, sometimes it's punk kids doing stupid things. However, the cops have been caught so many times sending people to incite crowds, it's seriously like the standard routine when violence breaks out...
G20 police 'used undercover men to incite crowds' | Politics | The Observer
Undercover cops never incited violence: SQ
The incident occurred as protesters voiced opposition to a meeting of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, United States President George Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon Aug. 20 and 21.
At no time did the officer threaten anyone with the rock or use it to incite actual protesters to violence, Savard said during a news conference at SQ headquarters.
Infiltrating protest groups with undercover officers is standard police procedure worldwide, he said.
I'll repeat it, because it's important : STANDARD POLICE PRACTISE!
Here was the video of that event... you tell me how the cop holding the rock was 'blending in' with the crowd??
