Remember the 'agents provocateur' at the 2009 G20 London riots?Remember the 'agents provocateur' at the Student Fees riots?
Mike, there's no PROOF for 'agents provocateur' at either of those events.
This is true, there is no proof, however...

Police under fire as trial collapses over 'agent provocateur' claims
By Michael Savage
PC Mark Kennedy infiltrated a group of protesters accused of targeting a power station in Nottinghamshire.
Scotland Yard has come under pressure to reveal the extent of its covert surveillance of peaceful protesters after the collapse of a case following the unmasking of an undercover police officer.
Prosecutors announced they were dropping charges against six people accused of a 2009 plot to shut down the coal-fired Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, in Nottinghamshire, at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday. [read more INDEPENDENT]
And once you realise that there are Police men/women who are infiltrating Protest Groups, not just as secret observers for intel but, as ACTIVE MEMBERs of these groups and are willing to engage in 'agent provocateur' activities.
Why?
Well, who knows what the agenda really is? But with the revelations of PC Mark Kennedy now out in the open. We must demand an investigation into the role of the Police in the potential CRIMINALISATION OF PEACEFUL PROTEST.
There were calls for Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to answer questions in Parliament about the undercover officer. David Winnick, a Labour member of the Commons Home Affairs committee, said she needed to answer accusations that PC Kennedy had acted as an "agent provocateur". [source INDEPENDENT]
January 25th 2011 update: The Press Association has published THIS INFLAMMATORY CONCLUSION about potential Agents Provocateur at the G20 demonstration:
But Thursday's statement conceded: "Having made thorough checks on the back of recent media reporting we have now established that covert officers were deployed during the G20 protests.
"Therefore the information that was given by Commander Bob Broadhurst to the Home Affairs Select Committee saying that 'We had no plain-clothes officers deployed within the crowd' was not accurate." [source TPA]
Police infiltration of peaceful protest groups, especially if/when these infiltrated groups are then accused of illegal acts of crime or violence during public demonstrations, HAS TO BE STOPPED.

In the early 1970's I experimented as an agent provocateur, and learned just how easy it is to incite a group of people. This also brought myself to the awareness that if I, as part of an experiment for a Sociology Class (never turned in, to avoid the gaol), could do so easily, what were the fascists running America up to? I soon learned, when I spotted my pot connection sitting in a coffee shop, with someone I had seen speaking with police at a campus demonstration (minutes before a police riot). It did not even take my enhanced ability at pattern recognition to make this connection. A friend's solution was to out the agent in the school paper (the end of my friend's journalism career). We were obviously on target, because said student agent immediately disappeared from campus, despite a substantial female following.
