What purpose is unmasking them supposed to serve if not that?
- jacquesm 1y agoTo get their identity down so they can be prosecuted if and when the time comes.
- goda90 1y agoAccountability. Law enforcement officers should fear legal consequences for any illegal and excessive actions done while on duty. If the public can't identify them, and their co-workers don't feel an incentive to turn them in, then how will they face consequences? If they don't face consequences, what will incentivize them to follow the law and act with restraint?
- nofriend 1y agoA simple badge number would suffice for that
- goda90 1y agoWhich they are frequently not giving either.
- HDThoreaun 1y agoOk then they should have to prominently display their badge number
- cosmicgadget 1y agoYou're commenting on the internet and don't understand the difference in behavior when anonymity is involved?
- nofriend 1y agoThe myth that people behave differently when they are/aren't anonymous has been thoroughly debunked. People are against anonymity because they want to be able to threaten your employment when you say something they don't like. And when your employer doesn't care, they move on to threatening you and your family.
- cosmicgadget 1y agoThoroughly huh? Please send me a link or citation!
- nofriend 1y agosee my reply up thread
- cosmicgadget 1y ago"Visit facebook"? Well done you have completely disproven the distinction between anonymous and attributable sources. Where should I send your award?
- AlecSchueler 1y agoNever heard of that being debunked and it seems to go against common sense/my own experience. Could you share your sources for that?

- AlecSchueler 1y agoOk so it's been very vaguely debunked and even then only up to a certain very milquetoast and unconvincing level.
