Anti-government protesters in Bogota expel police infiltrators

Anti-government protesters in Bogota peacefully expelled two policemen who tried to infiltrate the massive marches, newspaper El Tiempo reported Thursday.
The two undercover cops were caught while trying to join the protests near the Cundinamarca Governor’s office, according to the newspaper.
“We don’t want infiltrators,” the protesters responded loudly. “Go away!”
The policeman told a protest organizer he had been ordered to infiltrate in the protests “to protect people,” El Tiempo reported.
A protest leader reportedly told the policeman to please do so in uniform.
Police vandals caught in previous protest
During peaceful student protests that were held last month, students apprehended police infiltrators who were committing acts of violence in an apparent attempt to trigger action from the ESMAD riot police unit.
