FBI agents infiltrated all of the organized protest groups and took thousands of photos of the protesters. I'd be willing to bet that in the early days, at least, the FBI was keeping a very close watch on the Tea Party movement. Every protest movement has the potential for violence. I have less of a problem with the FBI investigating the Occupy movement than with the brutality with which local police forces treated the protesters. That has been totally uncalled for.
