These pathetic and cowardly “agent provocateurs” tried to instigate violence at a peaceful protest. Photographs showed that the arrested pseudo-protestesters were wearing the EXACT same boots as the cops who were ‘arresting’ them – thus confirming they were police officers posing as violent anarchists. This is despicable behaviour by publically funded civil servants.

Quebec police admit they infiltrated protest
QUEBEC — The Quebec provincial police acknowledged in a statement Thursday that their agents had infiltrated protesters demonstrating during the recent North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que. but denied that they acted as “agent provocateurs” to instigate violence.
“They had the mandate to spot and identify violent demonstrators to avoid the situation from getting out of hand,” the Surete du Quebec said in a statement. “The police officers were identified by demonstrators when they refused to throw projectiles.”
“At no time did the Surete du Quebec police officers act as agents provocateurs or committed criminal acts,” the statement adds.
A spokesperson for the police force refused to further comment on the statement.
Protesters have accused police of planting agents outside the Chateau Montebello to instigate violence during Monday’s demonstration.
