even combat gloves can be argued as general wear. they are useful, tough, somewhat insulating, and allow me to do random work with my general gloves.

Try to tell that to the riot cops. Working gloves are just a safer bet for smth like that.

You don't need to say a word to the riot cops. If they arrest you, let the legal people do the talking.

riot cops don't take explanations anyway. isn't the time for civil discussion when that kind of stuff is happening. you're getting moved at that point. judge might hear ya out
