Depends on whether they want to be spotted. Sometimes the point is to be obviously intimidating and try to divide the protesters over throwing someone out. Other times it’s to be an obvious plant so that after getting rid of them the protesters think they’re no longer infiltrated and overlook the less obvious one. And sometimes it really is just incompetence.
Another thing to look for is a cell phone standing up in a shirt pocket with the camera facing forward.
Thin blue line is cop supporter shit. Back the blue, etc…
Lol, shouldn’t you take that off if you go out pretending you’re with the protesters and all?
Oh def but this picture is too bad to even tell if that’s why it is but I wouldn’t put it past a cop to be that dumb

Yeah, I feel like this picture was made as satire.
Hypothetically enough civilians wear them as well so that alone isn’t proof. That with the cuffs is certainly enough to be wary.
