Well, this is sort of a scary story: Marshall Garrett, one of the protesters who was arrested during Saturday?s Occupy Wall Street march for trying to hold a General Assembly in Citibank, told the Village Voice what went down that day. Apparently a plainclothed cop had been very well informed of the situation ahead of time and hidden himself in the crowd.
Here?s what Mr. Garrett told the paper:
But what was unknown to us and to a lot of people that day, including those in Times Square, was that there were undercover cops already there, paid to be disruptive and to be loud. One undercover cop present [at Citi] was louder than the entire group.

wonder why undercover cops didn't do the same at tea party protests? they're a populist movement as well, right?
