At WH, Fed LEO won't identify themselves, and all insignias and name plates have been removed



Garrett Haake ✔ @GarrettHaake

Back outside the White House. Today the perimeter has been pushed back another half block. Federal law enforcement of some kind, but they won’t identify themselves, and all insignias and name plates have been removed.

They want to control the scene and the moment. Once they've got you out if the scene they probably don't care if they have to release you.

And if they actually did care about a charge, they can just hand you over to a real officer.

If there wasn't a legit officer on the scene who could say they witnessed it, they would just let you go.

I'm guessing they're just there for show and muscle

Head to toe - not costs spared for cops they need,... they get....

Nice if the same was applicable for ambulance personnel, emergency room attendants, nurses, doctors,.. why do they need to grovel for personal protective equipment to protect from Covid ?

I saw one of those guys was carrying a shield that said Park Police. And the guy next to him had a shield saying Military Police. WTF?

This is a tragedy in the making. I fear something traumatic is going to happen as a result.

Here's a thread on that one, with speculation about the CBP troops.

These guys are totally different.
