I've protested - without mask. To date I have recieved no letter bombs or flaming bags of dog poo. The local cops have also refrained from merciless persecution despite having more than enough reasons to want to.

Except they were all saying it before the rest of the crowd got it. Those people had, as a group, interacted with the undercover cops, and had come to the conclusion that they were cops. They then tried to tell everyone else.Originally posted by Flubber

People need to understand the consequences of protesting without a mask. If people don't then they really won't understand your message anyway. We live in a society that condems you for your political beliefs. That's a fact. Share your political beliefs, and allow your enemies to identify you at your own risk.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I hope everyone does understand that if you do participate in a protest in the US, or are a member of a political group that protests, you will be spied on by the govt. They will take your license plate number and/or use any other method to identify you, and they will spy on you.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

You are so thoroughly wrong. Our government is far too incompetent to spy on everyone that goes to a protest. They might try to be evil and 1984ish, but they're not.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Your rhetoric aside what the video clearly shows is three guys that approach the police line from a position up against the building and they do so in the slowest and least threatening manner possible. By going along the edge there they interact with almost none of the protesters and they take no threatening actions except for the fact that they do possess weapons.
My view is that they dressed similarly to the most violent type of protesters in the hopes of mingling and conversing with them and either brought or acquired weaposn because that would suit the disguise.
Whether they did this to incite something as you think or if they did this since they thought it was the best method to mingle and acquire information ( which I merely assert as a real possibility without concluding anything) is the question
As for why they went through the lines? By then their cover was blown so the safest route I saw was to the police -- a mere few feet-- With the position I saw it seemed the only other ways were back through the masked guys ( who you say are known to be frequently violent) or into the crowd)
In his actual physical actions , I can hardly conceive of a less threatening way to approach a police line.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment
