Police were caught red handed acting as provocateurs at the SPP protest in Quebec. There is video showing undercover police being agitators in the crowd and one of them is said to have been seen with a fist-sized rock in his hand, allegedly handed to him by "extremists" to throw at the other police officers.
This is crooked, and clearly shows that there is a hidden agenda here.
A video clip on website YouTube.com may have forced Quebec's provincial police to admit undercover officers were involved in a protest this week and in an age of proliferating cellphones with video capability, ordinary citizens are poised to become watchdogs of police accountability, experts say.
A clip appeared on the website showing a union leader confronting three apparent protesters at the North American Leaders' Summit in Montebello, Que., accusing them of being police officers attempting to incite violence at an otherwise peaceful demonstration.
After days of denials, the force admitted Thursday the trio were, in fact, police officers, but not the "provocateurs" protesters made them out to be. Protesters and the union leader seen in the video, Dave Coles, note the video clearly shows a fist-sized rock in the hand of at least one undercover officer.
Insp. Marcel Savard yesterday acknowledged that one of the officers was given a rock by protesters but did not use it.
"He was asked by extremists to throw the rock at the police, but never had any intention of using it," Savard said.
In the past, such a debate likely would not have progressed beyond the he-said-she-said sphere, but video evidence posted on the web for all to see left the Surete du Quebec with few options.
