        it’s so they can identify each other in a crowd, they usually do a “color of the day” system. the last picture has an orange armband.

          If I ever spot this I am 100% greeting them with “officer.”

            while funny, I would absolutely not recommend doing this. warn the people around you, point the officer out to organizers, but do NOT interact with the police. do not give them a reason to harass or arrest you, because I promise they will take the opportunity and could possibly ruin your life.

              Hadn’t even thought if that. Thank you, will do. 🤝🏾

              Edit: And I’m black too. I should have know better. 😔

            Don’t do that. Never underestimate how violent they can get at the smallest (or even non-existent) provocation.

            Treat them like you would a rabid animal.

        Gotta know who they can’t hit in the face with a teargas grenade.
