Similar thing happened in at least one case in Portugal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS8ak6zQzc4
You can see a cop with a hoodie in the middle of the other policemen beating a reporter. It was showed in all news reports, they even interviewed the ministry about it but nothing happened. It is believed this happens in a lot more situations but it's really hard to proove.
I don't have time to watch at work, but did anyone in those videos actually get their face burned off?

It looks like a ministry or something is releasing these videos.
I live in Quebec and in August 2007 one branch of our police force did a false flag operation to discredit protesters and legitimize the use of force on civilians. They got caught by pacifist protesters who noticed the boots of the undercover cops were wearing the same boots as the police force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St1-WTc1kow
The police force then mistranslated the events by saying that the president we see in here asking the cops to "drop the rocks" saying that the president and others were asking them to "throw the rocks". I have no trust in anything coming from my government anymore.
You know who got reprimanded for using provocateurs? No one!
Similar techniques were used at the G20 and the media is playing right into the government's hands.
