This is just plain dumb. Undercover work is crucial to law enforcement.

edit: I would delete this, as as others have pointed out, the headline doesn't match the article. But apparently that's not allowed by HN once replied to.

undercover work "in uniform responding to First Amendment assemblies"?

I mean the police have routinely planted undercover officers in protests.

There are plenty of people who have claimed said some of the plainclothes cops were doing the actual inciting, though obviously such reports are unsubstantiated - the reporters and the police both have ample reason to lie here.

I'm inclined to believe the ones not shooting at the other ones myself.

The only evidence of shooting we have is protesters being shot by police. That's it.
