    How comes I do not fear the secret police and you do? Do I have any special status or privilege over you? I’m not trying to be funny,
    What about my liberal nephew who teaches in Portland? He used to fear the secret police too, but now that he #WalkAway from the crappy Dems, he’s no longer afraid of the secret police and welcomes them with open arms to clean up his beloved Portland.

    https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-heck-are-federal-law-enforcement-officers-doing-portland

    excerpt:

    Question 4: How come none of these federal officers have to identify themselves?

    As Rachel Brown and Coleman Saunders explained on Lawfare last month, there’s no general requirement under federal law that federal law enforcement officers disclose either their identity or the identity of their employer. (One of the many reforms that seems worth pursuing in response to recent events is to consider whether there are circumstances in which federal law should require identification.) The messier question is whether Oregon law requires them to do so. As noted above, the Oregon statute that authorizes federal law enforcement officers to enforce Oregon law requires the officers to identify their authority and their reason for making the arrest. It does not seem like a stretch to interpret that provision to require officers to identify themselves at least as a federal law enforcement officer, if not as an employee of a specific federal agency with law enforcement authority. That doesn’t mean that these officers must wear uniforms or drive marked vehicles, but it shouldn’t be remotely controversial to require federal officers, when making arrests, to make it clear to those whom they are arresting why they have the legal authority to do so.
    ***

    There’s definitely reason to be alarmed about what’s going on in Portland. And even if the federal officers are technically complying with the relevant statutes, there’s something more than just unseemly about camouflaged officers who refuse to identify themselves or their employer purporting to conduct arrests on the streets of American cities. Whether these officers are in fact abusing their authorities or not remains to be seen, but either answer would be deeply troubling.

    Peaceful protesting is a protected right. You shouldn’t fear being arrested but people are being arrested. But that’s because our president can’t run on actual policy and has to create a boogeyman to make internet illiterate boomers happy.

    Unarmed men in face masks and kits ready for deployment into Helmand Province detaining people without stating who they are and why they are being detained because of alleged graffiti and vandalism (I didn't see any of the ones who got arrested doing anything besides standing)?

    CPB makes sense, they were moving past others and looking for specific targets

    Not seeing any videos supporting aggressive tactics against peaceful protests during the day. Several accounts state the protests during the day are not the same people violently trying to destroy federal buildings at night. All the videos of instances at night. Once again another non-story lied to us by the left. The playbook is old.

    How was it illegal?
    Were the detainees doing anything illegal?
    Perhaps they just happened to be in the areas where the "goons" were sent at all hours of the night and morning?
    I'm sure the goons have nothing better to do than harrass law abiding citizens.

    I love the constant chanting of "peaceful" to describe protests that we can clearly see are nothing of the sort

    defacing/burning/destroying property is not peaceful

    Should we be proud of unruly and violent, destructive mobs ruling cities, while the law abiding citizens have to cower in their homes?

    But the communists were not peaceful. They had to be confronted, and order had to be restored at all costs.

    This deja vu thing is driving me nuts.

    I'm sure these goons have nothing better to do than harass regular citizens.
    I'm equally certain they have been instructed to bypass potential troublemakers and target regular citizens instead.
