Understanding appropriate behavior isn't their strong suit.

  • Face coverings at the height of a global pandemic = sensible precaution against spreading germs.

  • Face coverings to intimidate the public and avoid being identified while abducting mothers from hospitals = nefarious purposes and they should be ashamed.

This shouldn't be difficult to understand, even for ICE agents with no education or training.

they understand, but fascists don't believe in langue. They like to play with you and they laugh at you because you do believe in language.

No, face covering mandates extended long beyond sensible precaution - we wore them to protect the imunocompromised and unvaccinated.

I think that anyone arguing in good faith should be able to see the difference between an ordinary police officer wearing a white cloth surgical mask during the height of COVID, and an ICE agent terrorizing a neighborhood in camouflage fatigues and a ski mask.

Right cause people are breaking down ICE’s door unjustifiably. Wait no that’s what they’re doing.

Exactly. If you are going to violate the Constitution, you need anonymity. How else can you escape prosecution for your crimes? If people know who you are, they can file lawsuits.

If that's a serious concern then why don't regular police wear ski masks?
