A peaceful demonstration turns violent, the TV news flashes pictures of mayhem, the issue is completely forgotten, and the protesters are entirely discredited.
Would it surprise you to know that police *engineer* these outcomes?
Three masked police posing as radicals were caught red handed trying to provoke violence at a meeting of the so called "Security and Prosperity Partnership" in Quebec.
P.S. The more successful popular opposition to corruption is, the more likely, dirty and violent tricks will be played against peaceful demonstrators.
NO ONE reports on this. I've been writing about it for eleven years. Finally, someone caught police red handed at it.
If you attend demonstrations or have friends that do, they need to know this information so they can protect themselves.

Caught red handed
A police riot stopped
Bizarrely, US protesters NEVER seem to get their heads out of their arses and see it coming no matter how many times it gets pulled on them.
In contrast, one labor leader at the Montebello meeting of the so called "Security and Prosperity Summit" in Quebec earned the title "leader" and not only detected this crap as it was talking place, but confronted the government-employed criminals involved and forced them to stand down.
This kind of activity isn't legitimate police work. It's thug-for-hire work on behalf of fascists.
Next time you see one of these hulking morons with a mask on his face holding a rock or stick, rip off his mask and photograph him. Don't expect a shred of help from the gutless news media exposing these vermin. They'll never follow up on the story, but the photographs are a deterrent.
By the way, the so called "Security and Prosperity Summit" will be meeting in New Orleans in April. Brasscheck TV will be there reporting on cop dirty tricks as they happen.
Note: New Orleans police have coincidentally been given a "grant" of assault weapons and riot gear recently. Also, an article recently appeared in New Orleans Magazine praising the local SWAT team for brutalizing local affordable housing protesters. How subtle.
