Met Police Agent Provocateurs

[Jan Klimkowski]

Mark Kennedy, the first infiltrator to be exposed, says he may sue Scotland Yard for causing post-traumatic stress disorder

BIG mistake!They'll have some really fine anti-psychcotic drugs waiting for Mr.MK Slime.....:moon:

Now you're talking! :wheel:

Any naive soul considering becoming an agent provocateur needs to study Kennedy/Stone/Flash's case in detail. After he was exposed, Kennedy returned to the Met and, allegedly, had a meeting with Scotland Yard's Head of HR. Mr Flash was told that the only potential option was for him to return to being a rank and file "beat copper". However, Scotland Yard HR further advised him that his many years undercover meant he was totally deskilled, and therefore could not even return to being a neighbourhood rozzer.

Kennedy was declared unemployable as a police officer.

It's the mundane, proasaic, counterpoint to the fate of the DiCaprio character in Scorsese's Departed.

And the DiCaprio character had at least infiltrated a genuine criminal gang.

Unlike Kennedy/Stone/Flash who was tasked with infiltrating and, almost certainly, destabilizing, a legitimate protest movement.
