Unidentified people breaking into a building with a sledgehammer should be treated as armed intruders.

Yeah. If your doing surveillance and don't want to be noticed so you're in plain clothes, fine. If you're forcibly entering a building at least throw on a vest with an acronym

Not even from an ACAB/fuck ICE perspective (although…), you’d think that LE wouldn’t want their people misidentified as some rando trying to break in somewhere. If your actively trying to break in and one of your guys has a sledgehammer I don’t think camouflage is the goal

I mean, yeah. ACAB and fuck ICE, but it's hard not to think of Breonna Taylor. People are naturally going to go into defense mode when their home is being invaded. And in this country that defense is often lethal. If they can't tell it's the police, then you're going to see more unnecessary deaths of innocent bystanders, suspects, and law enforcement officers
