    I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason

      There’s a reason ICE conceal their faces.

      They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.

        Is that why the protestors wear them too?

          Protestors or vandals and rioters?

          The former: to prevent government persecution and unfair retaliation. The latter: yes.

            Why would they face persecution if they did nothing wrong!?

              The government has always had it out for protestors, to the extent that they’ll try and use agents provocateur to escalate the situation. They don’t want people to protest, they just want people to life back and take it. C’mon, you seriously asking this?

                The point I’m trying to make is that everyone is wearing a mask for the same reason: to prevent retribution for their beliefs and according actions.

                They don’t “know what they’re doing is wrong”, they just know that other people think that and will target them for it, which is the exact same reason protestors wear them.

                  Some beliefs require retribution. Some causes are righteous. Fuck off with your false equivalencies. Rioters aren’t employed by the people- law enforcement is.

                  the government should always identify itself to the people

                  the people should, by default, not be identified by the government

                  the power imbalance is important: the government is a large and powerful entity which is meant to serve the people without prejudice. people are individually small, and only gain their power from being a large group. the government is given power by the people in order for it to perform tasks beneficial to all, and must be accountable to the people

                  Your point is moot.

                  For the people by the people or did you forget?

                  There’s a difference between wearing a mask because you are engaging in wrongdoing and wearing a mask to prevent unjust retaliation. Even if the actual motive is the same, the implications are very different

    What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll

      Because criminals get out of jail and can go after their families. We had someone leave a bomb on the doorstep of a judge in our neighborhood.

        I wasn’t expecting crims to go after their own families, but I’m here for it….

        Was the judge a dick head?

          If I remember correctly they were convicted of embezzlement. Narcissists and psychopaths get mad when they are held accountable.
