Documents Show Undercover Police Attended #BlackLivesMatter Protests

HeadlineAug 19, 2015

Newly released documents have confirmed undercover police in New York City attended numerous Black Lives Matter protests and that police tracked the movements of individual activists. Records obtained by The Intercept show authorities circulated photographs and notes about the activities of anti-police brutality protesters, including Jose LaSalle, founder of the police watchdog Copwatch Patrol Unit, and Ray Lewis, a former Philadelphia police officer turned activist. The records appear to provide the first documented evidence of the presence of undercover police at Black Lives Matter rallies in New York City.
