A video, posted on YouTube, shows three young  men, their faces masked by bandannas, mingling Monday with protesters in  front of a line of police in riot gear. At least one of the masked men  is holding a rock in his hand. The three are confronted by protest  organizer Dave Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and  Paperworkers Union of Canada. Coles makes it clear the masked men are  not welcome among his group of protesters, whom he describes as mainly  grandparents. He urges them to leave and find their own protest  location. Coles also demands that they put down their rocks. Other  protesters begin to chime in that the three are really police agents.  Several try to snatch the bandanas from their faces.  Rather than leave, the three actually start edging closer to the police  line, where they appear to engage in discussions. They eventually push  their way past an officer, whereupon other police shove them to the  ground and handcuff them.  Late Tuesday, photographs taken by another protester surfaced, showing  the trio lying prone on the ground. The photos show the soles of their  boots adorned by yellow triangles. A police officer kneeling beside the  men has an identical yellow triangle on the sole of his boot.  Kevin Skerrett, a protester with the group Nowar-Paix, said the photos  and video together present powerful evidence that the men were actually  undercover police officers. . . The three do not appear to have been  arrested or charged with any offence.  <a title=\"protest fend off by official at SPP\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/News\/article\/248608 \" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/News\/article\/248608 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More creeps creating problems wherever they think they can suck alittle energy off of other people in the process&#8230; CANADIAN PRESS Protesters are accusing police of using undercover agents to provoke violent confrontations at the North American leaders&#8217; summit in Montebello, Que. . .
