i’m counting at least four dead giveaways and another obvious cop
- visible vest under his shirt
- handcuffs in back pocket
- hideous shoes that literally only cops wear
- thin blue line wristband
- backwards yankees cap
- armband on his left arm almost certainly covering a blue line/punisher skull tat
- guy on the right side of the photo also wearing a vest and same wristband on both wrists
The white armband is actually used by NYPD to signify to the riot cops which people in the crowd are undercover cops so they don’t get shot. Apparently they change the color daily, but no one else is showing up to a protest with a fucking armband like that so
- the black shoes, jeans, neutral shirt combo…
I made a little visual
These undercovers will try and convince you to act violently/break the law just so they have an excuse to arrest you and use violence on protestors. Call them out as cops and don’t let them fool you or fellow protestors.

This is the kind of shoes cops wear.
When I worked for a police department I was recommended to buy 5.11 or something like it. Cop supply stores will carry this brand and Galls. The designs are pretty consistent across brands.
Not just a favorite among cops, but other types of class traitors like security guards and asset protection too!
the solution to the systematic (and purposeful) destruction of the environment is not simply “no one ever touches nature again because humans are not a part of nature and should leave it alone” lmao. colonialism has destroyed the environment in ways which are targeted specifically toward indigenous people first, as well as impoverished communities who suffer the negative affects of environmental damage first. the response is not the self-deprecating and humanity-as-conglomerate attitude taken on by everyone from vegans to leftists to apolitical worriers… a solution is not to point and cry and say “think how much better animals would be without us!” because not only is human life as valuable and something you should be concerned over, not only should you think critically about the ways in which you define that “us” clause, you should also remember the human species is part of the ecosystem
An important lesson we can learn from plants, especially those considered "weeds", is that if a system does not work for you, grow around it.
Dandelions cannot thrive trapped under a concrete roof, so they twist and spread and sprout between the cracks.
Tree roots will find their way through foundations and bricks to feed the tree.
Brambles will climb up and over fences designed to keep them out, if what's beyond let's them grow.
A sunflower in a pot will face the sun, not the room it's owner so desperately wants it to decorate.
Do what you need to do to thrive, irregardless of what others think you should do.
Commissions are open! I've got reduced work hours and could really use some supplemental income. I'll be taking up to three commissions at a time!
