"that is impersonation of a law enforcement officer; in the #USA alone it is a felony in several states. furthermore, even if you got actual believable tactical gear, instead of a cheap Halloween #cop outfit, some random with no badge number and precinct attachment is not gonna be able to walk up to a group of #cops and believably impersonate one for even a minute, let alone long enough to get necessary information. (usa centric advice) If you want to figure out where cops are targeting #protesters during a #riot, you're better off having someone on #comms listening in to the #police #radio and communicating to people on the ground where kettles and other traps are being set up, which was an effective #tactic utilized during several 2020 #protests in places, like Louisville, Kentucky, New York City, New York, and Los Angeles, CA.
this is the shit I mean: in the wake of 2020 and 2021 protests it's a bunch of wannabe hard ass 'punks' on the Internet w storebought preripped jeans n 'battle jackets' who do fuckall in they #communities n who would go down after one solid smack across the face offering "advice" that is going to get #people killed, or at least in serious danger, and I'm sorry to be so harsh on this person in particular, but fronting like this is embarrassing, it makes you look stupid, and advice like this is goofy, and if anyone follows that they're gonna get themselves in so much trouble and effectively neuter any #resistance they're trying to aid.
as #someone who is constantly engaged in dignified #struggle, I'm down to do dumb shit for good reason with a reasonable n attainable #goal. I'm not down to do stupid shit n I'm not down to catch a felony for no reason. This is on par with that pink haired white kid on TikTok who was telling people how to stop a police horse by gently pressing on its chest. (that will get you killed.) if you nah about that life stop pretending to be."
