I forgot about the DNC convention in Denver 2008. http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_10918033
There's plenty more out there if you want to use your Google-Fu. Have a good day everyone.When a Jefferson County deputy deployed pepper spray into a crowd during the first night of the Democratic National Convention, he did not know that his targets were undercover Denver police officers...
"The actions of the undercover detectives on Aug. 25, 2008, may have had the effect of exacerbating an already 'tense situation,' as their feigned struggle led nearby officers and the public to believe that a commanding officer was being attacked by protesters and that the situation necessitated the use of chemical agents," says the letter, written by ACLU staff attorney Taylor Pendergrass.
"Such actions may have escalated the overall situation by causing officers on the scene to fear that the protesters threatened their safety, when in fact, the struggle was only between uniformed officers and undercover officers," he wrote.

The UK tabloid press is the absolute worst and most self destructive on the planet (as evidenced recently by the Rupert Murdock scandal).
