There was this hoopla about how protestors were attacking the undercover detectives on scooters. : P

[lucky]

propaganda. video (it was shown on local news ) showed one of the plainclothes detectives intentionally ramming a protester. then with that provocation, he got his ass kicked, he deserved it too, all those plainclothes scooter cops were provoking violence from protesters all week at the RNC. the uniformed scooter cops were different.

some believe some of the plainclothes detectives may have been former members of a disbanded nypd unit (street crimes unit, infamous for the 1999 shooting death of amadou diallo with 41 bullets in the back.) because of their aggressive tactics.
