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.

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.

What's your point they sent cops undercover to keep tabs on a group. They got caught and admitted it... embarrassing yes but not unethical or illegal.
The reason for the rocks were to blend in, they even admitted in an inquiry that they threw rocks at already damaged property to gain credibility. I think that brilliant.

The point is .... "anarchists" may be undercover police ... who may be holding weapons .... and may contribute to the violence.What's your point they sent cops undercover to keep tabs on a group. They got caught and admitted it... embarrassing yes but not unethical or illegal.

Many people dont realize that the police do this. Some people try to dismiss it by saying "conspiracy theory, dont believe it". Well, here's proof that it can happen.Comment

No joke this made it look 1000 times worse than it actually did. This stuff happened but over the course of the entire day. It looks so much worse watching a couple quick clips. Along with the fact that the police LET the "black bloc" torch their cars amazes me. When the cars were burning on Queen street not a cop was to be seen. Very odd how they handled it but overall I say not much harm done (other than some smashed windows and a couple burnt cars). I have no idea why they hold the event here.Comment

It's completely retarded that they would host this event in a major city that costs 1billion dollars of tax payers money. They should do it in a undisclosed area in the middle f no where!
Those anarchist punks are not real logical protesters they are just out to cause chaos and destroy shiet!Icq - 403858640
