The shoes are different. The pants are different colors and the cop's has a stripe up the outside of the leg.
Even if what you claim is true, it's still a black man and a cop.

ETA - You're right about it being a nice thought. I don't know why you felt a need to try to piss on it.

The shoes are different, but serve the same purpose.

Also, the black man's trousers are a faded black. The police officer has on blue slacks with a stripe down the leg.

other than black and comfortable. If you look closely at the soles of the shoes, they are very different. Same as the seams of the pants. Also the cop pants are very dark blue versus black.

Not the same. Just both wearing very dark to black.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna play chess, but will be in the area.

More policemen, on foot, talking to and interacting in a positive way with people in the community. Anything wrong with this scene?

I mean, look at how the cop is being massacred. I think I only count 6 white pieces left versus 14! Look at the poor white king, running away in the middle of the chessboard with tail between legs! Ahah!

They not both cops
First off, they both don't have a stripe on their pants only the police officer does
The black guy has no stripe

... then why is there another cop standing six feet away with his hand on his gun?

And why did he stupidly empty his back row so early in the match?

Yep, just a faked photo shot.
