Humberto Da Silva captured three possible 'agent provocateurs' taking part in vandalizing a police cruiser last Saturday at anti-summit protests in Toronto. In the video one person trashes the cruiser with his face in plain view, the second has his jacket completely zipped up to conceal what could be a hand gun, and the third changes the cruiser siren and then parades around with an unlit cigarette asking people in the crowd for a light. Who are these people?

Was the police able to identify and arrest them?
what conclusive proof are you offering that these folks are provocateurs? I don't find any in the above clip or write up, and I fail to see the value of speculating on such things, especially while people are in jail. There's already enough cops around, we don't need rabble doing the work of the state, thank you very much.
The video above certainly raises some serious questions that point to the possibility that protestors were set up, and this wouldn't be the first time. If these people were militant "activists" they would most certainly have covered their faces. They seem to be completely fearless. One obvious explanation is that they are police agents and know there is nothing to fear. We can settle this by identifying who these people are. It's not "conclusive proof", as the above poster notes, but it's a presumption in favour of a deeply troubling issue of police involvement. It ought to be the media's job to get to the bottom of these allegations.
