Argentina: Protesters clash with police over spending cuts

1. OMG, they've been caught trying to pull off the old "false flag" bogus violence today.

Sure, they realize they don't have enough public support so they want to mold public perception against the protesters, hoping it might push people on the fence to never involve themselves in protests, no matter how bad it is. Detecting a policeman trying to provoke fear toward the protesters isn't going to help Macri's side. The public has been starting to catch onto this stuff everywhere. Right-wing governments have been doing it since the 1960's, at least, in the U.S.

We recall seeing photos circulating years ago of a Canadian cop being spotted trying to act like a violent protester from the Canadian unions, which started and bemused people for ages as the images were passed around for a long time after. So funny. He forgot and left on his policeman shoes when he put on his stupid street clothes, people saw through it, and watched him walk to the end of a block and get into a police car for a lift back to the station when he was through.

Seattle, acting as antifa? You betcha.

Now Macri is sending out his own. Makes you wonder if he didn't use them when he was the mayor of Buenos Aires, doesn't it?

Thank you for the new information, sandensea. It is a moment of lightness to learn that one of the very underhanded dirty tricks has been exposed, and undoubtedly lost Macri some former supporters.

Hope the demonstrations will continue, and that the real protesters will be safe.
