16. Standard Swat (ish) cop gear is straight black, no insignia at all

But big Velcro patches for I.D and bonafides - as it should be. I've been lectured by a sort-of-a-cop about blocking a town road (unloading a car into the gararge) who thought he was so extra-cool that he need'nt be identified as an officious pain in the ass! Once one of my helpers yelled" If you'll get out of the way, he'll get the truck out of here!" he came to his senses a little, which left the town cop car in the road!
He coulda been anybody - had NO ID anywhere I could see! Same problem with these jerks - in fact, they look like the old "blac bloc" "protesters" who turned marches into riots and broke windows to order!
