Cops


Security in Kiener Plaza. It looks like a sweep but nothing was going on. 

When did police start wearing the word across their backs? It's not like you can't tell but I've seen it in several countries. In the U.S. it gets broken down further, particularly with federal agencies: people with INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms - mostly the latter), or FBI (self-evident) displayed across their shirts. It can make you a little paranoid.

They are not using standard issue socks, but the sneakers looks nice.

I imagine it's probably been twenty odd years of seeing that displayed on the back of a shirt or jacket.
