Infiltrate:
- to gain intelligence on the organization & leadership
- to gain intelligence on future plans and activities
- to gain intelligence on civil disobedience affinity groups
- to document and provocateur for minor crimes unrelated to the demonstrations under which the leadership can be prosecuted
- to foment paranoia and distrust within and among the organizations
Provocateur:
- to draw individuals into property destruction so they can be prosecuted
- to cast a shadow of violence on the whole event which will turn the press, families of protesters, and those who were considering getting involved against the demonstrators
- to justify a harsh law enforcement response in the short term
- to justify law enforcement budgets, department sizes and new high tech arsenals in the long term
- through a combination of fear of prosecution, paranoia over who to trust, and revulsion to the violence, to cause the nonviolent demand for justice to fizzle out
