On August 20, a riot was narrowly averted at a protest in Montebello, Quebec, when an alert and observant protester noticed that three masked men seemed out of place among the crowd - one of them carried a fist-sized rock and refused to put it down when repeatedly asked.  The men refused to unmask or identify themselves.  Eventually, the three masked men rushed the police line and were seemingly arrested.  Allegations immediately surfaced that the men were undercover police officers.  These allegations were later confirmed, as the Quebec police admitted that the three masked men were, in fact, police officers.
