ACLU wants probe into police-staged DNC protest
I wanted to add this to my blog. This is a few day old article that I had recently discovered and I did warn in the past of agent provocateurs interrupting peaceful protests across the U.S. (I apologize if this article had already been added by another member)...

When a Jefferson County deputy unleashed pepper spray at unruly protesters on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, he did not know that his targets were undercover Denver police officers.
Now the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado is questioning whether that staged confrontation by police pretending to be violent inflamed other protesters or officers during the most intense night of the four-day event.
The protest occurred Aug. 25 at 15th Street and Court Place near Civic Center. Police ultimately arrested 106 people, the highest number of arrests in a single day during the convention.
