Documents obtained by The Intercept confirm that undercover police officers attended numerous Black Lives Matter protests in New York City between December 2014 and February 2015. The documents also show that police in New York have monitored activists, tracking their movements and keeping individual photos of them on file.

These types of actions are what cause me to strongly oppose mass surveillance like the programs conducted by the NSA. I'm reminded of COINTELPRO.

It seems that political activists will always find antagonists in the state.
