As someone already responded, you ducked, dodged, and dived out of answering my question.

A group of people in camo come running up. It doesn’t say POLICE or DHS or SWAT or anything in giant letters on their front, back, or helmet. What are people supposed to do? Ask? They refuse to identify themselves.

Are you going to let yourself be restrained and taken away by people you don’t know?

Impersonation of a law enforcement officer is a huge crime. Because citizens need to know. I would fight tooth n nail any added on “resisting arrest” or “assault of an officer” in these circumstances.

Look at the Breonna Taylor incident. Police executed a no knock warrant close it midnight. Ms. Taylor’s, not knowing what was happening, boyfriend opened fire. Police returned fire. She got killed. The boyfriend is charge with crimes against the police. Worse is the fact the cops were at the wrong house.
