It would introduce some basic humanity into the situation. It would be a form of accountability.


> What would be different about these people if their faces were visible?

I mean, if you agree there's no difference, then we should prefer transparency? You're going to have to make the case for why they should cover their face, since the default for law enforcement for the last 200+ years has been to show their face.

In case you're wondering why you're getting downvoted and flagged, it's probably to do with the fact that you're throwing around insults like this rather than just answering people's questions.


SWAT teams have extensive training...


They have a way worse accidental kill rate what are you talking about.

It's also entirely unrelated to the point.


It's not unrelated, it's showing how unlike a SWAT team ICE is.


SWAT teams killed someone that was swatted a few years ago, that sounds EXTREMELY untrained. It's also a very high capture / accidental kill ratio.


Accidents happening does not equate to being extremely untrained. Obviously, also, there will be variance in the amount of training across departments/jurisdictions. On average, though, they certainly are highly trained.



lol, I missed the part where she is advocating for killing people in the streets, recruiting militias with no training to be officers, ignoring the fourth amendment and busting into homes, kidnapping people without due process, kidnapping people who did everything legally and are about to take their citizenship oaths...


Yes, that's what I'm asking! Can you answer my question? :)
