really grown on the phrase "what was the plan" lately. just a much more annoying version of "what were you thinking"

there’s a fat bear roaming around the area I live in every night and everyone keeps posting ring footage of him

he’s just meandering in all the footage, not knocking over trash cans or doing anything, just walking for his health I guess

Stealing him lol

if you see a suspicious looking ford explorer and can’t tell if it’s an undercover cop or not, look for the roof rails

these mfs

police model explorers don’t have them, the roof will be completely smooth other than possibly a fin or antenna at the back

i’ve found it to be the quickest and easiest way to tell, once you know what you’re looking for

In addition to that, here are some things I look for when identifying the secret police:

- can you see through the windows? SP have very darkly tinted windows, but if you can catch the light correctly you'll see they have the bars separating the back seat from the front. sometimes the extreme tint is an indicator by itself.

- does it have an odd addition to the driver side mirror? SP have hidden lights on their vehicles.

- does it have any markings? check if it has stickers, dealership tags, or anything that can identify it. if you find something, youre in the clear! if its generic plates and nothing else its another indication of SP.

- does it have extra brake lights? can you see additional unlit lights? those are the police lights.

- this one is for up close, but the driver will be in uniform if they're SP.

Stay safe folks.

do other countries not have unmarked cop cars?

**For the record, these are just sources I found in about 15 minutes of searching. It is by no means comprehensive. So no, not #american problems. Or at least, not JUST that. This is very much a #everyone problem, because fascism, oppression, and state violence are not contained to one set of people that you, personally, dislike**

Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific

my friend sent me a playlist of medieval-y covers of contemporary songs (which fucks btw) but one particular song came on while I was showering today and it was. an Experience

ask and ye shall receive

Ok but why's it in Kermit thee frogs voice in my head and not in the song, huh?
