Trying to find specific context on this guy, here's what I got so far: The picture was taken 14. October 2025 "around 11 a.m." in Chicago, "near 105th Street and Avenue N in the East Side neighborhood". The rest of the uniform indicates he's a member of a Special Response Team, whatever that is.

Special Response Team is like a SWAT team. More training, more dangerous missions (usually)
Special Response Team? Sounds like SA (“Sturmabteilung”).
