I guess we know where the Egyptian police were for the last few days.

Making signs,gathering rocks,making crude weapons,hiding their uniforms,etc etc........

1. Not reading the memo telling them to leave their ID at home...

2. CNN: changing uniforms in hotels

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/02/02/egypt.pro.mubarak/

Journalist and protestor Reham Saeed told CNN she saw men with police uniforms go into hotels on the way to Tahrir Square, then come out wearing civilian clothes joining the pro-Mubarak protesters. She called that an act of "betrayal."

3. I figure they were off hiring

thugs to be "pro-Mubarak" and training them in counter protest techniques.

Does the media really think there are that many people in Egypt that are supporting Mubarak without being on the payroll in the police, military, or freelance thugs? Come on now!

5. EgyptBaggers...

Real grassroots movements don't have fancy buses or signs... no beer and barbeque either.

This is clearly an organized effort by Mubarak... he's called out the flying monkeys.

6. They also don't ride in

on camels with metal bars and other weapons already in hand.

7. Is this why the army said they wouldn't fire on protesters?

Because they knew the cops were going to pose as pro-Mubarak 'protesters?'
