This is an old picture from the G20 Protests in Toronto, not a recent picture from Rome.

Here's a pic taken in Rome... the violent protesters were arrested... look at the shoes they were wearing...




Protesters and cops : same shoes with the same sticker. Surprise surprise.

Cops being agent provocateurs... not a big surprise... it happened several times in Canada and the US, you bet it's happening in Europe.

great find! flag it people
doesnt suprise me one bit, you can tell theyre getting worried and trying to end it early before too many people wake up

eta: does that protester have shin pads on as well?
makes sense if you want to make a take down look realisitic they would want protection

also whats the chance if we get another photo of the violent protesters that they are wearing some sort of bright peice of clothing..or something to identify them

find out if the boots are sold publicly first.

it could be a coincidence.

it's known to happen yes, I certainly will not deny that.

whats worse, I believe it was these provs. that smashed the virgin mary statue as well to enrage the public at the movement.

That footage is from the g20 meeting in 2007 www.youtube.com... nice try but

Unless I'm mistaken they are all wearing Altberg boots, very very comfortable

Oh dear oh dear...

I tend to wear boots very similar to what the police wear, because honestly they are good quality and comfortable. This is less than tenuous at best, having the same taste in footwear means nothing at all as far as agent provocateurs are concerned.

That'd be right, about $250 a pair too, not bad for protesters who may or may not be protesting for people who are being ripped off..

Can't really protest in $16 shoes from best&less tho can you.

MOD NOTE: THREAD CLOSED PENDING EVIDENCE REVIEW

Thread re-opened. Evidence is false, the photo is not not current and not from Rome.

Perhaps both the protesters and cops are wearing Fruit-of-the-Loom underwear???
That would be more evidence that the protesters are actually agent provocateurs.

I'm not saying agent provocateurs don't exist in this world -- I'd be naive to think that agent provocateurs have never been used. However, the fact that a protestor in Toronto and a cop own the same shoe is not evidence that there were agent provocateur protestors at the Toronto G20 summit (or the Rome version of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, as was originally asserted in the OP).

Well sorry about that.
