A note on communist anti-protest tactics in Cuba.
After watching footage of the ongoing protests it is clear that the Cuban communists mix plain clothed enforcers in with their uniformed police. This makes it easier to surprise the protesters. The citizens focus on the police, and are suddenly rushed from all sides by people that they thought were just bystanders. Minutes later, another group brings in a vehicle into which the protesters are thrown and then carted away.
It is not clear who the plain clothed enforcers are in these videos. They could be military or local poloce. Perhaps, these are the communists party "volunteers" who the regime called upon to attack protestors. Either way, they look to be better dressed and fed than the average citizen. That fact alone should help in identifying and targeting these perpetrators.
