Video has also emerged of police in Oakland actively infiltrating the protests, raising yet more questions over their role in the violence witnessed so far in the city.

As the video highlights, Oakland's acting Police Chief, Howard Jordan, previously muted the possibility of police provocateuring, stating:

"You don't need to have some special skill to be able to infiltrate these groups. If you put people in there from the beginning, I think we'll be able to gather the information. And maybe direct them to do something that we want them to do."
