    So are you saying that asking questions (maybe not these specific ones) wouldn’t be helpful here? If so, what do you propose instead? Ignore the person? Notify the protest organizers?

      no im saying those specific questions aren’t as productive as they could be.

      cops shoot at people; vests are a safety thing. the handcuffs are for my boyfriend. etc.

        I think the point here is to be aware of a combination of these items. e.g. If the person has a vest (more noticeable), they might also be wearing a wire (less obvious).

        I’m not sure there’s a good excuse to bring handcuffs to a protest. Nothing wrong with being kinky IMO, but leave that shit at home.
