This invocation of God (articulated like a 5 year old) represents the grandiose narcissist’s greatest desires: omnipotent power, all-knowing, inerrant and infallible status, and the ability to punish those who don’t worship him with sufficient reverence and adulation.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.
