Plain clothes are always incredibly obvious and oblivious to that fact. I've known them to stop and search people because they are baffled someone spotted them.
what’s the deal with the white arm bands?
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.
IME they try too hard to look like street people, but it doesn't work because their clothes are clean and they bathed, your average skel substance abuser hasn’t seen a shower in 24+hrs even if they got new donated clothes.
