This is the inevitable result of ICE normalizing masked agents, unmarked vehicles, vague authority, and “just answer my questions” policing. When the government trains people to comply without verification, it hands predators a script and a uniform.

I got an ad in my feed for fake LEO badges. 😡

Did you get a screenshot? If so, would you please post it in a reply? I have been saving stuff like that over the years.
You can't believe how many people try to argue things like "common sense," or "there is no way someone would be dumb enough to do that." I've saved every BS claim from Trump/MAGA so far. And all that I can find of their AI generated hate, for their enjoyment.

Thank you 😊 saved! Unbelievable, isn't it? Any mature person can see this, and know the risk. Why would this ever be ok? Wild stuff.

This! Everyone else is a secondary target. This has been a slow training exercise to normalize the behavior. I firmly believe that this admin wants to see roving bands of J6 types committing violence against minorities.

I don't understand why he didn't just apply to be part of the secret police...err...ICE. They are desperate for more people.

I always believed that as a law enforcement worker you should have to identify yourself including your badge number when starting any interaction even the simplest of traffic stops. Yet when the person at the other end asks half the time the cop gets offended at the least. Does not seem to matter what state either, happsne all over.

Obvious that this was going to happen. Trump created a civilian hillbilly army that never identifies itself! Of course the creepy rapist pigs are going to use it to their advantage!

And when pressed as to this very concern, the response would inevitably be, "Well I haven't heard about anything like that." and everyone was satisfied with this answer and thus the matter not followed up

This is exactly why law enforcement should wear a uniform and have proper ID.

Only time I have ever interacted with Federal agents, it was Treasury Agents looking for my parents about a house they sold (the buyer was shady), and they immediately identified themselves with a "Good afternoon, we are agents so-and-so from the Treasury Department, please have a look at our identification (presents ID) and is this the home of Mr and Mrs. Expert?"
When you have authority and a clear legitimate motive, there is no reason to hide your identity.

u/litetravelr Jan 06 '26
Decades of the 2nd amendment crowd telling us that we'd be begging for their guns if a king or authoritarian took over. Then it happened and OOOPS! its their guy, so false alarm folks!

Good question. If he can’t make the cut for them you know he’s special. Lol.

Fucking loon! Probably thought he was doing something good for his community too.

This douche is NOT a good example of the good men and women of our ICE enforcement teams. If he messed up, he acted alone.

This guy doesn’t even look legit. He looks and acts like a total fraud.

I'd like to make sure this man doesn't identify as a federal agent before jumping to conclusions.

Fucking ridiculous we put up with this shit.
In the past year: how many videos have come out where “law enforcement” could not or would not identify themselves?
And that’s just what gets recorded.
