So we're walking back from the celebrity softball game yesterday through pioneer square approaching occidental park, which is a big public space. A guy runs up on my buddy and they apparently know each other and are asking what they're each doing down there. The guy is saying that as he's one of the few black guys at work, they've got him down there to undercover mingle in the protest and see what's going down but that he can't press people too much or it'd be entrapment. I remember that my buddy has a friend who's a cop so this must be him. Ironically, I'm undercover as a person who'd be impressed by his ruse. So he has to go do his thing and we keep going through where this so-called protest is, but there's maybe 10 people max that are even gathered and they're just chilling with a few signs. Meanwhile the whole block is canvassed with cops in varying amounts of tactical gear, making us feel like we were walking through a war zone.
The "protest" didn't make the news.
Also, next time you're participating in a #BLM rally and some random black guy starts chatting you up about turning up the protest, ignore him.
