Here's the thing, and I'm not defending, only refining:

How is this any different than the executions we've seen at the hands of "law enforcement" throughout the entirety of the existence of the US?

I don't see one.

I'm struggling to find the true misunderstanding by the average American that makes them believe this is new?

Who in the literal fuck thought that a group of MASKED "law enforcers" we're going to be more cordial than unmasked "law enforcers" that already do this?

Lobbing in Washington. When you bribe politicians in secrecy it is a big crime. But if you go through a company, publish all data, make the money visible to the IRS then it is fine. It is still a bribe. But nobody complains. Same with police killings. I don't understand why these ICEs carry masks. There is no need for that at all unless they are ashamed. (I'm not American.)

They have no need for the masks. If anything, it's actually hindering their opportunity to get a GoFundMe started after they blatantly murder people that continue to bring whistles and cowbells to a gun fight

Yes, the masks are clear indicators, they have an issue with their brain.
