OMG! What a dufus. :lol: How in the world could he have been an "undercover" cop?
Well, IMO, re Braszczok's uc work with OWS: he could have been assigned a very specific role--agent provocateur. His job would have been to create violent situations which would justify calls for increased police presence and control over peaceful protestors and the public at large. This has been going on around the world for some time. I didn't believe it was happening until the Seattle 1999 WTO protests had a live television feed which showed some "anarchists" breaking windows of businesses. These men were caught by peaceful protestors (some union leaders IIRC), and held (being sat on by teamsters). LE, however, refused to arrest them. As I watched, real reporters (ie. local reporters) were pointing out these and other inconsistencies in the way LE dealt with protestors and the public and the way they dealt with the "anarchists". This guy would have fit right in with that group or with the three uc "anarchists" caught on tape in 2009 at the G20 protests or the "anarchists" at the SPP protests in Quebec. After smashing a student's camera, one of the G20 aps can be heard saying "Let's not make this too much fun, I'm tired, I'm getting old."

Based on what he has admitted to doing to the SUV, it's my guess that, during Braszczok's infiltration of ows, "Al"may have participated in nasty acts (such as the terrifying attack described by ScarlettScarpetta upthread) in order to maintain his cover.
IMO, he was uc acting as a **** to spy on ****s. The gathering of information on these groups is essential for LE to make accurate assessments . But it was dangerous, dangerous work and potentially, IMO, damaging most of all to his own moral compass. Sadly, the actions of a man who may have been overstressed by his shadow life uc, and who may have been losing his sense of identity, may be used to stain the reputations of the majority of LEOs who work incredibly hard to keep their communities safe.
