Black Bloc and R.A.S.H. are pretty retarded, and prone to starting trouble on their own. I've had run ins in the past with both.
That being said the use of false flag ops and agents provocateur is well established and documented, to the point that the vast majority of today's terror arrests are being found to be initiated by the F.B.I., the latest major arrest having been of an F.B.I. source specifically. The police in Chicago did behave better than I had hoped. That does not excuse the intimidation and abuse of powers that did take place.
