Anyone can stencil "POLICE" onto their chest. Without more, this gives them zero

authority to do anything coercive to any citizen. They are simply a part of a large number of people who are "UNIDENTIFIED".

If an unidentified person attempts to lay hands on you or detain you or assault you or threaten you with a firearm, you have the right to defend yourself.

You can strike them with your hands, feet or any object you can swing.

If you possess a legal firearm or knife, you can use it to defend yourself against an attack by an unidentified armed individual.

Is this dangerous? Yes, but so is meekly submitting to being kidnapped by "WHOM?" and transported to "WHERE?" and detained for "HOW LONG?" and for "WHAT REASON?"

It is time to let Trump's mercenaries know that we intend to treat them like the thugs they are.

This is the "nice" version of what I want to say. I left out all the "hair, teeth and eyeballs" aspects.

1. What you are saying is true. People in various law enforcement fields who have viewed these videos

are unanimous and quick to point out that these individuals are extremely fit, equipped and well trained. That would rule out a lot of the usual suspects that might first come to mind. So we really do need to identify these individuals.

2. Barr is testing how far he can go with his lawlessness

Putting a toe in the water. Checking to see if people react.

I'm glad to see that my state is pushing back. Even the US Attorney in Oregon is investigating.

My Mom always told me if I am driving at night and a single spotlight type "cop car" tries to pull me over, keep driving and then pull into a gas station or a parking lot of an open store. Fake cops are not a new thing. But this takes it to a whole new level.

3. You are correct, but being in the right is not incompatible with being dead.

If you defend yourself with a knife or firearm, which is a reasonable response to someone attempting to abduct you or assaulting you in such a way that you fear will result in your death, they WILL kill you.

And, fwiw but beside the point, they will get away with it too.

That is what makes this pattern of action by them so beyond the pale -- there is no possible manner for a citizen to defend and exercise all of their rights once they decide to behave that way.

4. What you state as a certainty is simply a possibility. They MAY kill me, but they may also

get killed---or need an ambulance. Neither possibility is an outcome any reasonable person would want, but the attitude that there is "no possible manner for a citizen to defend" themselves is simply a surrender to the hired ass-kickers who answer only to Herr Trump.
