Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que.

However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to provoke the crowd and instigate violence.

"At no time did the police of the Sûreté du Québec act as instigators or commit criminal acts," the police force said in French in a news release. "It is not in the police force's policies, nor in its strategies, to act in that manner.

"At all times, they responded within their mandate to keep order and security."

Police said the three undercover officers were only at the protest to locate and identify non-peaceful protesters in order to prevent any incidents. Continue Article

Police came under fire Tuesday, when a video surfaced on YouTube that appeared to show three plainclothes police officers at the protest with bandanas across their faces. One of the men was carrying a rock.

In the video, protest organizers in suits order the men to put the rock down, call them police instigators and try unsuccessfully to unmask them. Police-issued boots identified fake protesters

Protest organizers on Wednesday played the video for the media at a news conference in Ottawa. One of the organizers, union leader Dave Coles, explained that one reason protesters knew the men's true identities was because they were wearing the same boots as other police officers.

Coles said on Wednesday that the only thing he didn't know was whether the men were Quebec police, RCMP or hired security officers.

"[Our union] believes that the security force at Montebello were ordered to infiltrate our peaceful assembly and provoke incidents," said Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.

Police said the three were told to monitor protesters who were not peacefully demonstrating to prevent any violent incidents, but they were called out as undercover agents when they refused to throw objects. Concern Canada losing control of its energy

The protest at Montebello occurred outside the Fairmont Le Château Montebello hotel, near Ottawa, where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon. The summit about border security, free trade and other issues began Monday and finished Tuesday.

Protesters said they gathered to voice their concern about Canada losing control of its energy and water resources and borders. Others decried what they called a high level of secrecy at the summit.

The Quebec provincial police will not comment any further on the affair, a spokeswoman in Montreal said.

Quebec Justice Minister Jacques Dupuis was made aware of the news, but a spokesman from his office said he will not comment on the matter either.

Sure they were. We all believe that. Yes we do. Honest.

Good. Keep it that way, comrade, and we will not have to introduce you to our new choke holds-pepper spray-tasers-batons-water cannons-bean bags-and etc. Otherwise.........

When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest.

Being undercover is one thing. Being undercover and instigating violence is another.

I recall many years ago (more than 50) I was astounded to find out with most other people that in most protests of size and note that even the military services would have their own intelligence people there taking names and notes.

Prior to that I had become aware that the military also had its own internal spy system, spying on its own people.

The police admission opens themselves up to a lawsuit for attempting to deny free speech...do these lefty union guys have any decent lawyers?

Ron Paul supporters may see the same kind of dirty tactics used later on. Film everyone and everything seems to be the answer.

Lot of water shed events in life, is there not? But of them all, I like best the jerk-your-chain, become-aware events the best. What you just said was one of them for you, I suspect.

The best one I ever had was when I finally accepted the facts about disappearing money; very, very difficult for me, cause it completely changed how I viewed the United States government. It took me a couple of nights walking the floor to finally come to grips with it, and with my new opinion about the 'government.' Of course, that opinion has been going downhill ever since!

I suspect that it is the same for you.

Cyni,

About agent provocateurs.

The next time you find yourself at an anti-government riot, always follow closely the guy who throws the first bottle at the cops. He's probably the AP and likely heading to the predesignated safe area :)
