DENVER (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union says undercover
police officers posing as protesters staged a violent confrontation
with another officer during the Democratic convention in Denver.
The ACLU said it obtained a police document showing the
undercover officers pretended to struggle with a police commander
so they could be removed from the crowd without blowing their cover.
The ACLU says another officer thought the commander was being attacked
and pepper-sprayed the undercover officers.
It's not clear how many officers were involved or how they were affected by the spray.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson told The Associated Press
he was unaware of the report and couldn't comment. The ACLU didn't
immediately return a message.
