Anyone who participates in street protests knows that this is SOP for cops. Legal protests/rallies always have police plants. In my experience they are always the ones who start trouble to justify arrests and propaganda to the media. The cover story is usually that a couple of protesters threw a rock/bottle so police had to break up the rally/march. If anything was thrown it was undercover cops that did it. They usually wait until the TV cameras pack up and leave, which is usually during the march portion after the rally and speeches, then they start the trouble.
And they can generally be spotted by their choice of footwear--either Nikes (which most activists know not to wear because of that company's human rights abuses) or police issued shoes as shown in this infamous video:

Classic. Eagle eyed union leader busts the cops big time. He's all over them from the start. Beautiful.
