they’re the cop zip ties. According to a previous statement by Brock, he found them laying on the ground and was intending to give them to a cop. When he didn’t see a cop anywhere, he pocketed them.
Well, I was wondering what possible peaceful explanation a person dressed like a commando or anarchist could come up with to justify carrying those around, since they’re not good for anything but restraining people. It didn’t make sense for a rioter to openly wave zip ties around like a bouquet of roses and advertise his intentions.
That is a plausible explanation, hope it is true.
If that's true, then it would be simple to match them, to the ones that the police use. In the confrontations that occurred, it would be quite possible for a package of zip ties to fall out of a cop's pocket, be pulled out, or dropped unnoticed when putting them back in a pocket or vest pouch. If they match, and they try to still claim he brought them from home, the question should be, how did he know the exact type of zip ties the police use, so he could use the excuse that he found them, if he was arrested with them on him.
