76. I happen to think they should be not only unmasked

Mon Sep 22, 2025, 01:24 AM

Monday

but carrying proper identity for the same reason why police officers are unmasked, have badges with numbers or other information identifying them as law enforcement, bodycams, and who disclose (usually) what people are being arrested for or charged with.

Whether or not it makes a difference in their behavior, or the ultimate outcome.

Not to mention reports of people being abducted by unidentified (people), for reasons often undisclosed, and even reports of assaults by masked individuals impersonating "law enforcement."

The possibilities for abuse and misuse are endless, we all know the shit storm that would be occurring if a Democratic adminstration pulled this,

and I find it hard to believe anyone would be defending it.

Because being hidden behind a mask certainly emboldens them VTderry Sep 20 #44

They should be unmasked. Why are you arguing this lame54 Sep 20 #30

I'm trying to figure out... SickOfTheOnePct Sep 20 #33

Ask ICE... lame54 Sep 20 #38

I haven't denied anything SickOfTheOnePct Sep 20 #39

MAGA MORONS. Evrytingfinemon Sunday #69

To make a point. These troops are abusing people and property. They are allegorical oracle Sep 20 #49

NO! You need to make your case for allowing unidentifiable thugs Heidi Sep 20 #53

So say you SickOfTheOnePct Sep 20 #56

Not playing your game. Most cops aren't masked. Heidi Sep 20 #57

Cops aren't masked and they still brutalize people. So are masks the problem? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #61

What prosecutorial purposes? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #14

Only if they assault someone, or kill someone. bluestarone Sep 20 #17

So the work they're doing -- kidnapping, incarcerating and deporting people who are here legally -- gets a pass? As long WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #23

Hell no. none of that get's a pass. (in my books) but bluestarone Sep 20 #25

Getting them to take their masks off isn't a great starting point because it has a very clear ending point -- taking off WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #26

ok bluestarone Sep 20 #27

They should be unmasked. Why are you arguing this lame54 Sep 20 #31

Why should they be unmasked? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #37

Because it reeks of secret police... lame54 Sep 20 #42

How is ICE acting outside of its parameters, masked or unmasked? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #45

I would add that personal property is a valid issue, too. Bashing out the allegorical oracle Sep 20 #51

Oh yea, for sure. bluestarone Sep 20 #54

Perhaps without masks they'd have navigate the public consequences Heidi Sep 20 #15

What public consequences? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 20 #22

I'm not a fan of shunning Heidi Sep 20 #28
