Oakland police admit undercover officers infiltrated a peace group in May 2003.

Two Oakland police officers working undercover at an anti-war protest in May 2003 got themselves elected to leadership positions in an effort to influence the demonstration, documents released Thursday show.

The department assigned the officers to join activists protesting the U.S. war in Iraq and the tactics that police had used at a demonstration a month earlier, a police official said last year in a sworn deposition.

At the first demonstration, police fired nonlethal bullets and bean bags at demonstrators who blocked the Port of Oakland’s entrance in a protest against two shipping companies they said were helping the war effort. Dozens of activists and longshoremen on their way to work suffered injuries ranging from welts to broken bones and have won nearly $2 million in legal settlements from the city.

This same shit happened to my Pops. He was the leader of a group in the Bay Area working to legalize weed, and they were infiltrated heavily by cops. The cops in the group kept trying to incite everyone to do illegal shit, and they were like "yo what's your problem man?" lol.

Later on they put two and two together. What really killed the cops was the fact that they would dress like hippies but wear shiny ass black shoes.

They've been doing this since the late sixties, but then it was the CIA when they were running their COINTELPRO operation. Good to see that federal funding going to good use to militarize our former "peace officers". Add this type of illegal shit with the darth vader outfits most police forces proudly wear now with the military armaments and vehicles and its going to just a joy for us "citizens" when the police state is fully realised.
