David Topping from Torontoist blog says,

This is weird stuff: protesters are accusing police at the Montobello leaders summit (which includes George Bush, Stephen Harper, and Felipe Calderon) of using other police as riot provocateurs. The video of one such confrontation is really extraordinary to watch.
Link.

Reader comment: Duncan says,

This link is a photo of the boots they were wearing which also happens to be the same boots the police were wearing.
Swiftysjunk says,
NY Police have also been arresting themselves to incite people. My cousin Jim Dwyer ( NY Times, Pulitzer Prize winner ) has a three part video blog ( includes helicopter rooftop surveillance of terroristic couples sucking face ). It goes well with the Quebec cops.

Link to Jim's page, and Link to first video.
