But for real, why is all of this so shitty looking?

Every fascist state I can think of gave (relatively to the states wealth) a lot on paramilitary troops uniform image.

Even mafia or mere street gangs know they have to invest in some style.

USA should try like a foreign-exchange-presidents or something, then after a 6 month semester, boom - ICE gets designers threads, the troops can march, and all the Signal messaging is in Korean.

(Im not sarcastic about the question - why don't the ICE agents need to look "cool" & distinguished? Are they just some sort of in-between militia? Or is that actually all that & I just don't recognise it? They dress like poor students applying for their summer office job.)

Look how wide that dude's stance is. Fucking loser. What a bunch of big tough guys with masks. Show your faces, and be proud of your actions bitches.

Edit: It's giving:

They couldn't possibly look more "police officer in plain clothes" if they tried. Generic flannel shirt, generic blue jeans, generic black shoes, a cap, etc.

So if we just started surrounding and fucking them up, is that still assault on an officer, or just good old fashion assault? Asking for a friend.

Fill balloons full of lube and throw it at them

That’s expensive. Rotten eggs will do.

Do you know what the price of eggs is these days?

And no one seems to do anything about it.

It's soooo easy to kidnap people in the US right now. Human trafficking rings never had it so easy.

People should call and report suspicious armed men about to rob or do something nefarious. Get the locals all twisted up with reports. Get them scared then sick them on the federallies.

They look like criminals with zero indication as to any authority. Not uniforms, no badges.

This nation needs to make it physically unsafe to be in such a state.

If those were medical masks it would be different: my buddy’s wife is immune compromised so he wears a mask when out and about as do I when we’re together. That ain’t this.

Walmart out of white hoods?

New season of the handmaiden’s tale just dropped?

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (4 children)

can't wait for them to be gunned down in self defense.

it will be so strange, they will be gunned down in the middle of a busy street with countless passerbys, but somehow there will be no witnesses

We used to have a word for people like this, what was it again, Ohh yeah, pussies.

[–] roofTophopper@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Out of curiosity, is anyone allowed to dress up like that? What if everyone just decided to wear masks, camo pants, and hats?

They clearly don't have to identify themselves - why should we?

If you saw this on the street wouldn't you call the cops? I fucking would. From somewhere on the far side of the van, well out of their line of sight.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (4 children)

If people that looked like this showed up at my door, they'd be looking down the barrel of a shotgun. These morons are going to get shot.
