Spies? You think that it is unreasonable for a plainclothes officer to blend into a crowd to look for illegal activity, where there is a higher probability of it occuring? They wore masks to not only conceal their identity, but also blend in with the crowd of protesters who were also wearing masks.
And there is still no evidence that they provoked violence. I have seen the footage you are talking about, and also footage that you have not seen. There is no evidence, beyond a man holding a FAKE ROCK. He didn't even do anything with it. They escaped by rushing the police line, because the 'peaceful' protesters were starting to assault them.
