This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Death cards? Death-heads masks?

Looks like we are on the way to fielding our very own government death squads.

Just like the ones in "shithole" "third world" countries.

Thank you, Republicans. Don't whine when you, your families, your communities, your friends, your political allies fall victim to government goon squads. It will happen if you allow this to go on.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
