But like if he *was* a cop he wouldn't look so obvious

Vigs

No, cops absolutely do try to infiltrate protests (and leftist groups generally) with that haircut and visible wires. You can't assume that everyone who *doesn't* look like an obvious cop isn't a cop, but some cops are much worse than they think they are at not looking like cops.

"I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle"

Megh

Yes I know I'm terrible for making the comparison but it popped in my head the second I saw him

Andrea Andrew

Wow. Bad timing on our sapphic couple.

Rob McBobson

Reminds me of something I read. In TV shows, when somebody is too obviously guilty, they're being framed. In real life, when somebody's too obviously guilty, it's just somebody really stupid.

Jeremy AR

If i could i woild be very tempted to rub this one the faces of everyone who said Asma was being a jerk yesterday.

Simon Magid

You are not terrible. It was very much on point O.O

Simon Magid

@Rob McBobson: We had a very impressive case of the latter here in Denmark a few years back. A guy committed a murder, then went to a bar and got blind drunk, and THEN regaled everybody present with the story of the murder he committed, which weapons he used, where he hid the corpse and finished with "stupid cops are never gonna catch me." Needless to say this did not end well for him. O.O

Moon Goat

Thank you for not snitching Asma! ^^

Harold

I love that the “sister’s picture” is the most amateurish-looking doodle imaginable

L2theBell

Huh, does Asma not curse?

Astariel

Eh, there's a fairly substantial difference between an obvious undercover cop and two students you already know. I still think she was being a bit jerkish.

Ty34er

As a former university employee, she's probably just used to not swearing

Sean Murphy

I feel like replacing “fucking” with “fuggin’” is more of an accent indicator than self-censorship.

ValdVin

"And can you tell me your name?" "Yes. Apparently it's Front Desk Girl."

Alexandra Falk

You just know this guy is wearing the shoes, too.

Othin

Note that she *did* react differently to those two situations.

HueStL

That guy's not an undercover cop, he's not wearing a backwards ballcap. He lives on Beck 2, he always dresses like that, but he is a rat.

C.T. Phipps

Fantastic strip. I wish it was part of the main story.

C.T. Phipps

Some poster: Listen, what if he's actually just worried about her and not at all trying to deport someone.

Megh

@HueStL: honestly being a rat is even worse

Bagge

Seems legit

taekwondogirl

She doesn't really know them, outside of seeing them around campus. She doesn't know their personalities, their morals, or why they would be seeking someone out.

BlackDove

Have one guy looking obvious that draws everyone’s attention away from all the much better concealed ones

zaratustra

Undercover cops will often not replace their duty shoes, and wearing shiny black tough shoes to a protest can be a giveaway

Darastrix

Cops don't necessarily want to blend in *too* well; they know how their fellow cops treat people. During the 2017 protests in St. Louis after an ex-cop was acquitted for the shooting of Anthony Lamar Smith, 3 officers beat Luther Hall - an undercover detective - so badly that he had to take early retirement due to his injuries.

Pierpaolo Di Camillo

And for Asma Joyce and Dorothy are like that guy? Seriously?

Michael Steamweed

I'm wondering if it would go right before or right after the strip with Dorothy and Joyce first talking to Asma. I'm leaning toward just before.

Michael Steamweed

Not terrible at all. Was my first thought too! :)

Ben Wong

My take is that this happened just before Joyce and Dorothy showed up, thus the similarity in their question to Asma prompting her... hostile response

C

*That feeling when your suggestion loses the tie, but the Joyce romance subtext in the post gives you hope*

Jasmijn Wellner

Listen, what if he is just easily overstimulated: he has his music in to drown out the noise from the protest, and is wearing sunglasses to make the sun glare less. He's really looking for his sister, because she has his weighted blanket. (Kidding, kidding.)

Ria

My bad y'all I should've /s, I am extremely familiar with how cops do this

AE Gonzalez

“How do you do fellow kid?”

Daibhid Ceannaideach

There's a bit in the Discworld novel Maskerade where Cpl Nobbs and Sgt Detritus of the City Watch are "undercover" in the Opera House, which mostly consists of reminding each other not to use their ranks, and claiming their helmets are "military chic". The point of this is, of course, to distract everyone from the *actual* undercover officer.

Megan Lane

I think the sign is "No $ for bulmerian war crimes"
