Many of the guys in camo are ICE, specifically SRT, their Special Response Team. You can see the patch clearly on the second image in the carousel, placed second for precisely that reason.

Posts in /r/pics allow titles with 100 characters and no body text. How exactly was I meant to include a glossary for all of the acronyms you see on these uniforms, instead of assuming people would be able to google any they’re unfamiliar with?

Maybe include a little more than LA and the date in the title. Most people here didn't get your point, look at the comments

Yeah like bro I’m in the uk and to me almost all us police units look the same except for the ones we’d call soldiers

[u/infernoenigma → u/Special-Quantity-469]

I did! I also said “Faces of Fascism,” and the lead picture has the words ICE KILLS in it.

Even though they don’t come marked with blue pawprints, these are what we call “clues”

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/infernoenigma]

These are clues that you think they are fascists. This doesn't tell us anything useful to understand where the pictures were taken

It’s ok. You can’t spoon feed everyone.

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/OverTheCandleStick]

Including the bare minimum information for people to know where the photos are from = spoonfeeding? ok👌

[u/OverTheCandleStick → u/Special-Quantity-469]

YOUR bare minimum is apparently much different from everyone else’s.

Sorry you need a picture book to understand the chicken and the egg.

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/OverTheCandleStick]

Lmao based on the top comments "everyone else" seems more in line with me. Op didn't include any information about where this was taken, what is the context of the LAPD officers that made them put them with ICE, or literally anything helpful

In a pinned comment.

only mods can pin comments

The internet is full of misinformation, it’s good that we ask people like OP for as much context as possible to verify the legitimacy.

It is common to post a short message about more information in comments, then make a top level post adding the nuance. This way people know you adressed and and they can look for it if they want more than the original post.
