VIDEO: Police caught inciting violence
VIDEO: Police caught 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. This kind of activity isn’t legitimate police work. It’s thug-for-hire work on behalf of fascists. Next time you see one of these hulking morons with a mask on his face holding a rock or stick, rip off his mask and photograph him. Don’t expect a shred of help from the gutless news media exposing these vermin. They’ll never follow up on the story, but the photographs are a deterrent. By the way, the so called “Security and Prosperity Summit” will be meeting in New Orleans in April. Brasscheck TV will be there reporting on cop dirty tricks as they happen. Note: New Orleans police have coincidentally been given a “grant” of assault weapons and riot gear recently. Also, an article recently appeared in New Orleans Magazine praising the local SWAT team for brutalizing local affordable housing protesters. How subtle. |

Quebec police admit they went undercover at Montebello protest
Quebec police admit they went undercover at Montebello protest Last Updated: Thursday, August 23, 2007 | 7:52 PM ET CBC News Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que. A YouTube video shows Dave Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union, ordering three masked men back from a line of riot police.A YouTube video shows Dave Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union, ordering three masked men back from a line of riot police. However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to provoke the crowd and instigate violence. "At no time did the police of the Sûreté du Québec act as instigators or commit criminal acts," the police force said in French in a news release. "It is not in the police force's policies, nor in its strategies, to act in that manner. "At all times, they responded within their mandate to keep order and security." Police said the three undercover officers were only at the protest to locate and identify non-peaceful protesters in order to prevent any incidents. Police came under fire Tuesday, when a video surfaced on YouTube that appeared to show three plainclothes police officers at the protest with bandanas across their faces. One of the men was carrying a rock. In the video, protest organizers in suits order the men to put the rock down, call them police instigators and try unsuccessfully to unmask them. Police-issued boots identified fake protesters Protest organizers on Wednesday played the video for the media at a news conference in Ottawa. One of the organizers, union leader Dave Coles, explained that one reason protesters knew the men's true identities was because they were wearing the same boots as other police officers. Coles said on Wednesday that the only thing he didn't know was whether the men were Quebec police, RCMP or hired security officers. "[Our union] believes that the security force at Montebello were ordered to infiltrate our peaceful assembly and provoke incidents," said Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union. Police said the three were told to monitor protesters who were not peacefully demonstrating to prevent any violent incidents, but they were called out as undercover agents when they refused to throw objects. This was a breaking news story, when I first came here. This is a rather conservative telling. Protesters reported, they first encountered the three plants, when asking them to put down their rocks. I read several accounts in CA papers, and it appears, they were absolutely trying to incite the crowd.
