undercover police are no suprise, if you have reason that your GA/occupy camp has undercover police, then that is a good thing, because this is your chance to wake up the police, have upen discussions on police corruption of that area, and be sure to look up connections between that police department and politicians (Mayor,governor or senator) or corporate/business connections (a bank, a local busniess, ect). with info around your camp about that, the undercover cops are forced to hear the corruption behind their own PD and in some reasons their own mission of y they are undercover, wake them up and you have a chance to wake up police near you
Most police are already sympathetic to the plight of the average person. It is not hard to wake them up. It is hard to assist them in acquiring the tools to contend with inefficient policies, that undermine their ability to integrate with the citizenry.
If we stop screaming at them and throwing things at them....they might listen.
I believe we can learn from history: at the Russian revolution, one of the soldiers refused to shoot despite the commands of the officer, asking "If my parents, brothers and sisters are at the streets, shall i shoot them too?". His friends also refused to shoot and when their officer resisted, they simply shoot him and left him to die, then the mutiny spread, because they knew they would be killed if the other soldiers remained obedient. Of course, OWS will not ask police to shoot their commanders, but its still a start . If i could just find the Wikipedia link...
