Undercover Cops Outed and Pull Gun on Crowd

[MrScorpio]

During the ongoing protests in Berkeley and Oakland, on Dec 10th 2014, two undercover police were outed by the crowd, and proceeded to pull out a gun, and make arrests while still wearing their masks.

1. Then proceeds to hold it incorrectly

I guess he's been watching too much tv

[mythology]

3. But it looks so cool that way.

I mean sure you can't aim and it possibly makes the gun more likely to jam, but looking cool is priceless.

2. Wonder if he realizes he's holding the pistol wrong?

4. It's called trigger discipline

You keep your finger off the trigger until you are about to shoot.

14. That's not what they're talking about. It's the "sideways" hold, ejection port up no less.

5. They will try with every ounce of their power to shut these protests down.

People on the side of justice will need to be extra vigilant.

6. His finger is not on the trigger.

That's probably a good thing! And there seems to be a child on the pavement, with the adult who is being assaulted shielding the child with his body.

21. Finger was on trigger

Intent to shoot is at least exhibited. Even a 12 year old hunter knows, only point to shoot.

[rogerashton]

22. Different picture

and while it is harder to be sure in this case -- I think his finger is on the front of the trigger guard, not on the trigger itself.

Of course, he may have put his finger on the trigger at some time. And he is pointing the weapon.

That's what the "good" cops do. I read it here so it must be true.

8. Outing an undercover cop is not a crime

Nor should it be.

19. Especially when the undercover is inciting a riot & looting. nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

9. Ha! Caught in the act! Bad boys Bad boys whatcha gonna do. Whatcha gonna do when the public

comes for you? Hmm?

[Blue_Tires]

10. Of course *WE* were the nutbars for predicting

a little agent provocateur action to grease the wheels of unrest...

[seveneyes]

11. Cop instigates protesters to start looting?

There must be a video of them doing this alleged instigating somewhere. Any links to the video?

[cstanleytech]

12. If they were actually trying to entrap them then the cops should be suspended if not fired imo. nt

[nichomachus]

13. They've been doing this since the '60s

Maybe earlier. You always knew who the undercover cops were at the protest planning meeting. They were the ones with the most violent ideas.

“We have received a number of questions about the incident,” Bonifacio said in an e-mail Thursday. “We are referring all inquiries regarding this incident to the California Highway Patrol.”

18. Oakland PD won't say what agency the undercovers were with--but refers inquiries to CHP, lol

You really can't tell the players without a scorecard.

17. Good way to get shot buddy...

but if there was a "blue on blue" shooting but they'll just charge every protesters in the vicinity with murder or some bullshit charge like that and the media would go on full North Korea mode about how tragic it was and what a big hero the officer was and blah blah blah.

[pauldp]

20. This crap goes on ALL THE TIME. Any grass roots movement

that really threatens the establishment is met with this type of sh*t.
I'm sure cop provocateurs were doing this in Oakland during the Occupy protests as well.
Until this tactic is fully exposed it will be very hard to effect real change.

23. Fuck. The. Police.
