cbc.ca — Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protests at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que. The police came under fire Wednesday when protesters accused the force of planting undercover officers in the demonstration to provoke violence.

Haven't you heard? Apathy is in.

Yeah, but the implication here is that even if you are peaceful, if doesn't f**king matter, because the cops will just throw rocks themselves so their buddies can tear gas you and beat the crap out of you.This whole incident makes you wonder about EVERY protest turned violent. How often is it the undercover cops starting s**t? Maybe what we need to do is start carrying our own stunguns and zapstraps to protests and start making citizens arrest on s**t-disturbers, then we'll have a better chance of finding out how many are actually undercover cops! (The stungun one is probably illegal, but you get the point.)

I ragged on it, but I think Bush is a liar and Iraq never had any WMDs.One might note the connection of circumstantial evidence in both cases, though the outcomes are different.

Face it man, your buttbuddies got caught.

Yeah because it's not like law enforcement attracts pyschopaths, bullies, and napoleon cases that revel in the shear power they wield. I thinks it's safe to say that 98% of the apologizers here ARE COPS. You can just tell with their blind loyalty to their fellow donut jockeys.

Bahahahahaha! They were only there for the protestors' safety! They only had the rocks so they would look like protestors. They were only caught when they refused to throw the rocks they were handed. Such BS. Looks like the Canuks are learning well from us Yanks. Soon you will find your currency worth as much as a pile of dung and your schools full of illegal immigrants who want only Spanish spoken in classes. Welcome to the New World Order! By the way, how are your 'free speech zones' working out? Ours are pretty nice. You can say whatever you want and hold signs with whatever you want, so long as you are over a mile away from anything that matters and several mulit-storey buildings are in between your zone and where what you are protesting is located.
