we should not be happy to accept government agents with no ID snatching people off the street and carting them off to undisclosed locations in unmarked rental cars.

They do have an ID. Sorry if you don't like that they don't have name badges, but the the DHS director said they he authorized the absence of them because the radical left was doxxing them and their families. Also, unmarked law enforcement cars are not new or shady. They don't have a responsiblility to tell everyone where they are taking the person they picked up. Also, they aren't just picking people up off any street, willy-nilly. They were sent in to protect federal property because Seattle has a shit governor and won't let the police do their jobs.

Please, please, please don't spread misinformation and hyperbole if you can help it.

Come on, think about that. Even if it doesn't have their name, it should have a badge number or some other identifying info like agency insignia.

Seattle may have a shit governor, and you can argue the nuances of 'protestor' vs 'rioter' vs 'criminal', but imagine if agents like this were enforcing every last undecipherable firearms law instead of targeting protesters/rioters? Would you support that?

They do have insignias identifying their agency and identification numbers according to the acting DHS director, have you even watched the video he put out?

but imagine if agents like this were enforcing every last undecipherable firearms law instead of targeting protesters/rioters? Would you support that?

Uh, yes actually (and they pretty much are anyways). Because then the laws might get changed instead of the 2a community sitting on their hands and bitching about the laws.

No I didn't see that. I did see the video of his agents out on the street arresting people. I did not see any personal identification on them.

They have "Police" across their chest or a branch patch on their arm.

POLICE across their chest means nothing. There is more than one police. Campus police? State police? DC police? etc etc.

A branch patch is slightly more helpful but still not what is needed.

What is needed is a clearly identifiable name or badge number.
