Police resort to provocation
About 1,200 protesters were in the small resort town near Ottawa as Prime Minister Stephen Harper met with U.S. President George W. Bush. This peaceful demonstration was infiltrated by police officers carrying rocks to hurl at uniformed police. They were exposed before they were able to incite violence and give the uniformed police the excuse needed to beat and arrest non-violent protesters. You can see the video on You Tube. How many times has the police successfully carried out this tactic on American soil?
