Does anybody know what agency this officer is from? Doesn't seem like UCPD, and I would think that it would be clear if he was with CHP or another more local PD.
It seems that the officer in the first photo is from UCPD, and that some of them wore green uniforms with patches that say “SEMPER PARATUS”, or “Always Prepared”.
In this photo, you can see a cop on his knee with what appears to be the same shaped standard patch on his left arm that says "University California Police" with the star.
More Info from UC Access Now:
Sure looks like UC PD has used the generous % of the UC budget they get to create fascist club patches like other cops...
Remember that one of the most frequent things disabled people hear about why our public university isn't accessible 33 years post-ADA is "it's too expensive".
But shipping containers, gift cards for drivers whose cars UC towed, cop OT, ammo, and club patches are "affordable".

I can't see their patches well. It did seem like the cop pointing the tear gas gun had a Bearpaw patch. Did UC form a special SWAT team just for this? Wonder how much that cost?
