NONE of these MFers have any sort of US military insignia, NO nametags, NO id whatsoever on them. And these fuckers are guarding the WH????
This is but a taste of what we're going to see when Trump loses, between November and January.

Many look like they just woke up with bad hangovers (or stung out ---> take your pick).
FAT BOYS on DOPE!
Who/where do they come from?

(18,770 posts)DoJ LEO's would all have matching vests, helmets, etc. So would Erik Prince's boys.

(25,316 posts)One set of guys wore green tee shirts with nothing but the Texas flag on them. There was no logo or anything. Looked like they bought the shirts at Walmart and had flags ironed on.

(18,770 posts)Those men do not look like professionals. Well, a few do, but most do not. Their gear (vests, weapons) are not standardized - in fact, I didn't see anything uniform about their gear, apparel, head gear at all.
DoJ LEO's would have the same helmets, weapons, etc. Safe to say that Prince's boys would as well. That leaves the only option as a confederation of alt-right extremist paramilitary groups, perhaps brought together by someone like Stephen Miller?

(86,600 posts)the gear is often sourced from different providers/manufacturers. I have been in uniformed service and even in the same unit we didn't have exactly the same, identical gear or uniform components, what was consistent were the badges and name plates, hats. Anything else was what came from whichever manufacturer had the contract at a given time when the purchase was made.
ETA" I don't think even prince would have all gear identical since that's more of a mixed bag of players... I wonder how many are from academy and how many are not even Americans.

(86,600 posts)But I suspect the super roided up guys, especially the unmarked ones. They put a few in each unit to make sure there's a leader.

Who are these men ? What Law Enforcement agency are they with? Where are the badges, insignia, and names? Many of them are obese and unfit. The facial hair is unusual for Federal Officers. This is an urgent matter. This is not ok in America. We do not have secret police here
Ben Davis @bdaviskc
Completely unmarked officers in riot gear holding protesters blocks away from the White House. No badges. No insignias. No name tags. Nothing. Refused to tell us who theyre with. #DCprotest #DCprotests

Granted the fear for one's life is a big deterrent.
