In reply to the discussion: Masked ICE agents might be okay, says Dem leadership [View all]FascismIsDeath
(100 posts)These are rare things. Sometimes, in law enforcement, its because they may be going into a situation where they need to protect themselves against breathing in contaminates or, like the one Congresswoman said, they may be dealing with an actual situation where they are interacting with assets related to organized crime. And you know, we could always have another pandemic.
Might as well get ahead of the ridiculous reasons Republicans will use to shoot down any restrictions on masks whatsoever.
"Well, Democrats are trying to get them all killed when the next pandemic hits"
"Democrats want make sure the cartels know who's family to target whenever we have agents communicating with informants"
Just take those talking points away from them now instead of having to explain themselves later. Put an iron clad proposal on the table that refutes as many of their disingenuous arguments as possible.
The goal is for it to be held to the same standards as regular police officers as far as identifying oneself. Lets make sure that happens.
