Jennifer wrote about hired police informers that join resistance groups a while back. I just thought I'd let everyone know that a new Philadelphia news and video effort is following the ongoing stories of police infiltrators. I really did think that that crap went out with the Hoover era, but i guess not.

The video above chronicles underground and independent coverage of police action against protesters in Minnesota. The worst parts are the ones where they invaded people's homes before they'd done anything. The only evidence they had that the groups they pulled a storm trooper act on were really going to do anything wrong is that which their spies told them. And they won't even share that.

Anyway, you might want to check out Collateral News if this stuff interests you. Full disclosure: I'm involved with the site, too.
