Government agents provocateurs try to incite violence.(Inside Track)
Video footage of demonstrations at the North American Leaders' Summit in Montebello, Canada, on August 21 captured an incident in which three police officers masquerading as demonstrators attempted to incite a violent confrontation with the heavily armed police units guarding the summit attended by President George W. Bush, Mexico's President Felipe Calderon, and Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The video clips, which appeared on Canadian websites and on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=St1-WTc1kow), show clear close-ups of three husky men clad in military-style camouflage pants and dark shirts, their faces masked with bandannas, similar to the attire of some of the protesters they are mixing with. They are holding large, fist-sized rocks and appear to be trying to egg the protesters on to violent action against the line of riot police only a few feet away. Union leader David Coles confronts the men, shouting repeatedly at them: "Put the rocks down. This is our line. This is a peaceful demonstration. Put the rocks down!" He is joined by other demonstrators, who surround the three and say, "Take off your masks, let us see your face."
