Don't confuse fear with shame. Who wouldn't be afraid of their lives and their families safety, when there's aggressive mobs, both on- and off- line, waiting

Don't confuse fear with shame. Who wouldn't be afraid of their lives and their families safety, when there's aggressive mobs, both on- and off- line, waiting to doxx or physically assault you for doing your job and enforcing the law?

Maybe it's a sign that what they're doing is wrong.

        >Masked individuals running around stealing people from the streets, their jobs, their homes, etc. Yes, that's the process of law enforcement, what do you expect? Hugs and awards for breaking the law? Go commit a crime and see masked individuals "stealing" you from your home or the street for breaking the law and taking you to court or to jail, those masked individuals are called law enforcement officers and are employed by our elected governments to enforce our democratic laws against those who break them. They're masked because the criminal gangs love taking revenge on LEOs or their families. Don't be a criminal, follow the law, it's literally that easy.

        And what is the procedure for me to not get abducted by some shithead thugs cosplaying as ICE, assuming it's totally fine for law enforcement to conceal their identities and throw people in unmarked vans? How do I get myself unstuck from CECOT or Alligator Auschwitz once I'm thrown in there without due process?

    > How do YOU decide what is right and what is wrong? Per the US constitution, if and when our government turns tyrannical, it is the duty of the American people to overthrow it, up to and including violence. You might not agree with this principle, but these are the principles that founded our country.

      I agree with you... I think a big issue right now though is that not everyone agrees on the same definition of "tyrannical" and whether or not this counts. You can't just say "all republicans are dumb and things should be MY way instead", because they think the same about the democrats, and that doesn't make you any better. You can try educating people, but if they never learn, well... history has a funny way of repeating itself. Every advanced (for their time) civilization has gone through the "stupid period" also known as Machiavelli's paradox.

  Or maybe it’s a sign that the people they are apprehending and those that support them are sociopaths.

No such thing as "doxxing" a public servant.
