Funny thing about badge numbers, or at least at the department I worked for. Yeah my badge had a number on it, but it wasn't the number I put on citations or how the department tracked my reports. Honestly I seriously doubt if you took the actual number on my badge that it would have been linked to me.
Also let me be clear i'm certainly not advocating the gestapo rolling around and snatching people up. Don't want more money wasted either. However I'm certainly more a fan of this BS being nipped in the butt and these terrorists being dealt with now, rather than waiting for the bleeding hearts in control of these cities to do something about it. The outrage mob is destroying this country and I fear not enough of the silent majority are going to vote this November, and that a record amount of people are going to vote on emotion rather than fact and more "leaders" promising change and promising to end suffering and racism are going to be voted into office. But since they actually can't fulfill those promises they will continue to incite the outrage mob who will continue to destroy this nation.
I also just might not be looking in the right places, but every video/photo i've seen of these alleged encounters. The agents have been in uniform, sure they were camo, and basically in riot gear (can't blame them). But they've all had patches with the agency and POLICE identifiers. Fully support the unmarked car aspect given the behavior of the "protesters" in the last few weeks with marked units
