Yesterday I read a story conclusively exposing those "hotheaded reactionaries" as police provocateurs.

There are never hotheaded reactionaries, but there are always police provocateurs trying to incite or trying to paint a false flag picture of legitimate protest, in order to cloud the real issues.

There are indeed references on the 'Web to show people are seeing police infiltrators, provocateurs etc, at rallies and demonstrations.   Thusly:

With the right lawyers I smell money!!!Violation of civil rights!  Triffid

§ 1983. CIVIL ACTION FOR DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress……..

So the Police under color of law conspired to violate the rights of US citizens to exercise their first amendment rights? Infiltrating and provocateuring in order to excuse the beating of protesters to stop the protest is criminal. This is the same Statute used against the Klan. Can it not be used against the Police Klan? 1983 suits have traditionally garnered significant monetary awards and injunctions. Also section 1985 conspiring to violate rights. Keep the cameras rolling!

Terrible things happening in Michigan.  The Michigan Emergency Manager Law And What It Does!
Prior to the passage of the Emergency Managers Bill in Michigan,a detailed article outlining the legislation was written. In case you missed it, part of it is reprinted here.

"If Governor Rick Snyder determines that a city, town or even school district is in financial jeopardy, proposed Michigan legislation would allow the state to dismantle entire cities, dissolving locally elected government. The Michigan GOP legislature is intent on passing and implementing this legislation that will make what has just happened in Wisconsin seem like child's play! In addition, the state would have the same powers with regards to schools, dismissing school board members, and taking over any and all schools in a district. Heard enough? Of course not! Under the terms of the bill, corporations can be appointed and paid to take control and assume management of these disbanded cities, towns and school districts, selling assets, closing schools and eliminating all employee agreements. All collective bargaining can be dissolved, but even more than that, the mayors, city councils and local school boards that have been elected by the people will lose all control. They will be fired! Michigan's locally elected governments will serve at the pleasure of the governor, not the people who elected them.

Governor Snyder and his state treasurer, Andy Dillon, already have a training manual and program set up to instruct corporations and potential managers on such topics such as: How To Dissolve A City, Privatization of Assets, Sale of Assets, Merger of Services with Other Governmental Entities. Latest estimates suggest that additional training will take place in April or May. They are wasting no time!"

The law was passed by the Republican majority and the first city to have its locally elected government fired is Benton Harbor, Michigan. On April 14, 2011, the following was issued to take over and remove any and all powers of local government:
"EMERGENCY MANAGER, CITY OF BENTON HARBOR, BERRIEN COUNTY ,MICHIGAN
