Federal agents' seemingly universal adoption of neck gaiters worn just below the eyes like they're robbing the railroad is emblematic of this time in the US

And they know that, because they keep trying to ban face coverings for everyone else.

ciphilly.bsky.social•22 days ago

I am old enough to remember when masks were "face diapers" and a sign of the leftist woke deep state.

katphxaz.bsky.social•22 days ago

Exactly!! They want to do this job, they they need to fully ID themselves!

Local police should also have to confirm who they are. Neighbors should be calling the police and reporting that they are witnessing a kidnapping.

The police will answer "yeah we know, we're helping." Meanwhile, we do nothing and let it happen.

You certainly want their names so that they can answer for their abuses when this regime is out of or forced out of power and they can be be punished (with due process under the law, something they didn't give the folks they abducted)!

The "agents of the state" serve entrenched power, not the people. THE POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.

blueeyedhexe.bsky.social•22 days ago

Eventually they'll be bold enough to take them off. And still we'll be sitting our hands doing nothing.

It's how you know the stormtroopers are the bad guys

💯
And it is a huge concern! Good news irises are all unique and that scanning for such things is doable.

It’s horrific. Terror troopers. https://bsky.app/profile/lukeoneil47.bsky.social/post/3looywulpzc2t

It certainly shows they aren’t proud of what they’re doing. We will need a truth and reconciliation commission in a few years as a confessional for these people.

It says something tragic about society and the rule of law, that citizens exercising their constitutional freedom of speech need to hide their identity from the government, and that government agents hide their identities to violate people's constitutional rights with impunity

Watchmen style.

Makes the inevitable future prosecutions more difficult.

jusbellum.bsky.social•22 days ago

Why the 'in a democracy' qualifier?

Explain.

Should agents of the state be allowed to hide their identity in, say, a monarchy?

If so, why?

ryanenos.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes, I am just so shocked that this is being normalized.

faceonmars.bsky.social•22 days ago

How is it not cowardice on display?

What happens when a target fights back and injures (or worse) an agent of the state who fails to identify themselves?

rrhd.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes, and they should be required to have their name, and agency, visible and clear on their uniforms. And they should be required to wear their uniforms during any official activities.

p5ych.bsky.social•22 days ago

It should be a felony for LEOs to hide their identities while on duty.

blueeyedhexe.bsky.social•22 days ago

It should be legal to [redacted] any jackbooted thugs coming after you in masks.

mitchnobis.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes, and as always, they're projecting. They don't understand that many of us are actually concerned about viruses (and understand science...), so they can only assume masking is about hiding identity. It's always projecting with these guys.
