I’ve heard a whole lot of rumbling to that effect, albeit no really solid confirmation. (The “Umbrella man” rumors didn’t pan out, for example.)

But in a way, it doesn’t matter. The police knew what they were starting when they ratcheted up the violence in those protests again and again and again. They wanted the city to burn, to teach us all a lesson about challenging them. All they had to do was create the environment and step back. Stochastic arson, if you will.
