Did police go too far in undercover Occupy mission?

14. This is nothing new, however...

...infiltrators and agent provocateurs have been used for decades - the 1960s are another example.

Remember when Frank Luntz stated how terrified he was of the Occupy movement? That should have been taken as a warning shot to the protesters - not to cease protesting, but to be at the ready for infiltrators. I would submit that Occupy did not realize just how much of a threat they were - but those that they were targeting sure did, and they reacted accordingly (and as expected).
