How a I supposed to know that the masked person hauling off my neighbour is, in fact, actual law enforcement? How can I be sure they will ever even see that courtroom?

Did I just witness an arrest or a kidnapping? Who knows! And when the police become secret police, is there a difference?

Call the police and report? It's not like you know every LEO by face and only masks prevent you from identifying them.
Awesome now they know who I am, too.

This your first encounter with a chilling effect?

No, I've been observing hysterical redditors on this site since January.
