Pretty ridiculous garbage. The police really don't use agent provocateurs in activist movements. This idea that the cops use agent provocateurs is a fantasy spread by people with little working understanding of activism and radical movements. When cops infiltrate our groups they almost always focus on gathering information.
If any of you refuse to believe me, I'll cite a new article by two cops which explains what they've tried to do vis a vis radical activism.
Yes, there is pre-meditated window smashing. Often windows are smashed on the spur of the moment (and not just by "rebellious youth). I can think of one occasion where an undercover cop smashed a window during a black bloc march. The funny thing was that the rest of the bloc ignored this and continued with their march.
