CBC story of the Quebec Provincial Police admitting to having undercover agents posing as violent protestors: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/08/23/police-montebello.html That isnt what your article states at all. 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. 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. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/08/23/police-montebello.html Why is this part important? Because there never was a report given that these three men caused any damage or engaged in any violence. Now, since most of these are done by college students, allow me to explain why that is also important. They wont show the true problems, only what makes the "man" look bad. Pittsburgh G20. Man goes around causing tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to businesses. He is arrested. What is shown on youtube? The arrest of this man/boy by plain clothes dressed officers. Accusations that these officers were being abusive for no reason. Student tosses bicycle at officer because he wont allow her to pass into a restricted area. Bet you never saw that on youtube, even though i witnessed many college students videotaping that incident. Students will publish and post what they want. That doesnt mean they are telling the "whole story"
