Of course Federal Agents should wear masks... sometimes.

[WarGamer]

A group of FBI HRT agents takes down a Drug Kingpin in Miami... a man responsible for a dozen murders...

Who supports the agents being maskless and easily ID'd to the cartels? That'd put their families at risk.

That's nuts.

But in everyday policing? I'll draw the line there. Maybe there needs to be a special permission request when they want or NEED to wear masks. Terrible visuals for a free and democratic nation.

1. ICE doesn't go after drug kingpins

Not sure if you know, but that's not in ICE's purvey.

3. They've got us debating as if they're normal cops

How quickly we've let the narrative slide

Just yesterday they were only Immigration Agents

4. Then it wouldn't be a problem to give them that

But when they have to use flash bangs which is a valid scenario, they would wear masks.

2. We are negotiating THE WRONG THING

Again. We should be shining a fucking laser on the fact that they ARE NOT POLICE and ARE WAY THE FUCK OUT OF THEIR REMIT to be patrolling protesters. Their hideous cowardly masking is a complete distraction, and as usual Dems have let the offenders set the terms of the debate. JFC.

Edit: My ire is aimed at the Dems in congress, not the OP.
