In reply to the discussion: William Barr's Vast, Nameless Army Is Being Brought To Bear On D.C. Protesters [View all]Danascot
(4,690 posts)50. I was thinking along the same lines
Any LEO on the job or in public should be required to have visible insignia stating force, unit and badge number or the equivalent. For example, Virginia State Police, Troop 69, Badge number 666. I can see a rational for not having the name because of safety concerns for their families and homes but I could be persuaded otherwise. Also, functioning body cameras at all times. If they don't meet those requirements they're benched.

The DoJ cannot have a federal police force. It is highly dangerous and there is no accountability.

Bureau of Prisons guards? People from one of the hottest Covid-19 hot spot types in the US today?

Agree, the House needs to investigate and prohibit Lowbarr from these dangerous tactics.
