jody hamilton (filling in for stephanie miller) said people should call the police if they are stopped

[orleans]

by "ice" or anyone who is masked and unidentified
b/c anyone can get a costume that says "police" and because of the murders/shootings in colorado with the senators, anyone can be stopping or kidnapping someone

i think that sounds like good advice

1. I agree!

2. Masked, anonymous, unbadged "officers" without warrants destroy confidence in all LEO's

Officers, will you let this stand?
Courts, will you let this stand?

There is no way to distinguish a law officer from a Loud Boy thug,

3. right? How are we to know it's not some criminal impersonating an officer?

Like when they advise you to drive to the police station when a supposed cop wants to pull you over.

4. After the shootings here Saturday

Several local police departments sent out notice that you have a right to call 9/11 and verify the people stopping you or at your door are legit.

They also said their officers will not be masked and will be wearing badges and name tags.

5. glad to hear it. that should be the rule of thumb across the board (in every state) now nt
