Maybe they are in the streets… as ICE.

I’m going to be very upset if they try to take Italy…

Oh, that’s nice… taking the proud boy’s on a vacation? I wonder why?

All you need to know is that “it’s the biggest”.

I can’t imagine how a mask would change my capacity for violence in a chaotic situation. I doubt they think of it.

Is this symbolic compliance? Distracting us with masks? If they take them off, what have we won? As you said, they’re violent as ever.

Unmasking does remove a sense of protection. I doubt an institution that leads with violence will be phased by losing masks. If you find anything, I’d be interested.

Absolutely. Lack of accountability.

The Uniforms of Police Emergency Response Team's: A Research Note

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Anonymity ignores the purpose of these uniforms. It should not be about protecting their identity, it’s about protecting public trust. Consider how you would feel seeing a cop car drive by your home versus an unmarked tank. Domestic enforcement is different than combat.

In the military and law enforcement, uniforms are mandatory for identification and there are regulations regarding when it is appropriate to wear certain gear. Think of police uniforms versus tactical uniforms and the purpose between the two — patrolling the streets to protect versus to defend.

I wonder if what you’re looking for are studies on tactical versus non tactical uniforms?

Beautiful. I imagine it was not easy to do this… Sending hugs.
