"Its different times right now"
That's a scary quote.
I felt pain in that guys voice :(
@@kezzabean686 I felt fear in his voice, and was wondering why he took the job of being a cop?
They are different
Real different... Police actually being held accountable in public view of their actions... How sad it must be to be treated like the rest of the world
@@siege2928 burning tongue... Are you just giving your opinion freely? That's harrasment
Do people not realise how sinister this is?
No. Nor do they realize they could honestly get shot. Or they would stop it.
Cyrene the Cat how do you propose the average person stop their country from establishing a secret police? Do you hear yourself?
If they can do it, so can we...who’s to stop us now?...
I think they do !
@@ezra55595 were are all the constitution protestors with guns the Gov is going crazy don't they want to step in
*entire country protesting for police accountability*
“I know, let’s make police not accountable at all”
How about we hold the criminals accountable also? As in looters, arsonists, murderers who think they are protesting.
Jerry Eich we do, or rather, we should. They’re not the main problem here though. The protests (and yes, the vast majority of protesters are not, in fact, Hooligans; I know this might come as a bit of a shock to you) are against police brutality and for more police accountability, but what are they met with? More police violence, and less accountability. See the problem here?
Rich Mayer where on Earth did you only get 9 from!? Last year, the total number of people killed by police officers was 1099. Out of those, the proportion of white deaths was 1.6 per 1 million people; for blacks, it was 5.9 per 1 million people. Those are numbers straight from the Census Bureau.
Rich Mayer I’m not saying that all cops are bad. I am, however, no longer going to be accepting the argument of “There’s only a few bad apples.” We’ve had waaaay too many incidents for that to still ring true. Look, what people want most is leas brutality and more accountability. They can only be achieved by reforming the police system in its entirety. A police officer who did not participate in a case like Eric Garner’s or George Floyd’s certainly should not be tried for it; but an officer who knows about these incidents, and lets them happen over and over, or even tries to cover them up, needs to think hard what his job should really be about (and it’s not about having the backs of your fellow cops even when they commit a crime). Police brutality and their lack of accountability has sadly been a problem for a long time. In the past, voices were raised, with similar demands to now, and change was promised. Nothing changed in the end, though. Therefore, the police force in America as a whole needs to be radically altered.
@AJ coch If all is fair, then at least you agree that police are terrorist thugs that aren't held accountable. That's a start.
Without a badge, an officer has no authority. Now they're just another faction on the streets.
@Charlie Hufft Violence isn't authority. That's one of the main points of our whole freaking system. If you want that go to Russia.
@Charlie Hufft That is unsettling. Private contractors have the worst records, for them to be unidentifiable is chilling.
@@robertaylor9218 we dont need to identify everyone in the streets

@@davrocket5304 only if you are non-white
If you refuse to identify yourself a police officer then don't expect to be treated like one.
Yup u so right bro
Good point
You sound that they gonna respect the officer if they put their name tag on.
They identify themselves as officers there not giving there names or show of who they are
Lmao ikr.. boi these police being dumb
Officer says he has orders to hide his badge number. This is a very bad sign
VERY BAD SIGN!!!!
@@msnfraser4459 if it doesn't get handled right now it may never stop,only get worse!! Barr is out of control,he KNOWS better,every person hired and his badges from citizen's know that's not right and aught to be ashamed...failing to identify!! WAKE UP FOLKS....
Hitler had the "GESTAPO" (Secret State Police), E. Honecker had the "STASI" (State Security), Nicolae Ceaușescu had the "Securitate", etc
What does Trump call his secret cops? Bunkerboy Special Forces (BS-Forces)?
that means those higher up is on something big and it's bad
Then he is no longer a law enforcement officer. He is a citizen just like you.
Everyone should dress like the unidentified cops.
And then they can attack the goverment!!!
I like where this is going!
Michael SImarmata
What logic is that a cop can’t attack a cop
They’d be killed like a citizen wouldm
👀
How do we know if someone is posing as a police officer if they don't show their identification
No problem, you can identify him by what he is doing. If he kneels on your neck, sprays pepper spray in your face, shoves old men to the ground, and beats up cyclists, he is a regular police officer.
@Spicy Chickpea if you don't comply, they will beat you.
we won't...
@@SpikeTheNeuropsych what about black people?
@@eljanrimsa5843 you're sick
Just because a few officers are racist doesn't mean all of them are
Doing everything they can not to be held accountable for what they do. This is going to make everything worse.
They want a confrontation just like the "protester's"
They are no better
You mean the looters right?
@@alejandrotijerina4109 you realize these have been getting more and more peaceful? Its disingenuous to try and imply this is just a wave of lootings, especially on a video explicitly about police setting themselves up to be impossible to hold accountable
Moosy Man it’s “more and more peaceful” because there isn’t any more stores to loot.
That's bc they know what they are doing is unfair and bad.
Unbelievable. If civilians dressed in a type of military uniform no one could tell the difference. This is and must be illegal on so many levels
it is illegal. thats why its scary
Wait for it to happen
let’s do it and trick them
Maxine Tebbutt we should
It’s alright because they uphold the law so they’re allowed to brake it.
When looters and criminals start wearing masks and police uniforms everyone will look back at this and ask how.
Exactly what I was thinking. This is dangerous in so many ways. Anyone can just dress up as a cop. Smh Amazon is gonna be all out of cop costumes lol
Cops dressing up and shooting people with no consequences.
Yeah bruh, because criminals get paid with tax payers money too. Brilliant! 🙄🤦🏻♂️ Just tke Some lysol Man, pls
I kept my old uniforms...I can't be the only one who kept their old uniforms...
K Daye
You can literally buy and stick on police department badges already it won’t make a difference
“We want an end to police brutality.”
“We want police accountability.”
If your rioting & looting and targeting police, you can't really complain when they hide their badge numbets for extra safety.
Much less complain about police being militarized.
The rioters & attacks on police are exactly a great reason to militarize and to hide badge numbers (e.g. if there was a potential security breach).
I'm not saying its good or right - I'm saying it is hypocritical to complain about such things if your the one taking the actions that justify it.
I think most people would most of alp wamt antifa & blm criminal behaviour off the streets most of all.
You'd think the 99% of "good cops" would wear the badge with pride, seeing how they're not doing anything wrong.
You would think
Hidden badge #, hidden name = bad cop.
Well when you're trying to gather intel on the leftwing terrorists destroying the country it really helps to conceal your identity.
@@Nadz203 The System Can't control the Heart of a person meaning he can still be a good police in the inside you know alot of police in America joins the Protesters.
@@InternetSavage duct tape is not very efficient in this case, you should use tin foil instead.
I guest now anyone can commit a crime, when they don't have to show identity. God bless US!
No, no... you’re still accountable, civilian. They are not.
And here in Australia our Conservative government is dragging us to the US model of government. The last remaining stumbling block is our role in the British Commonwealth. If they succeed in making us a Republic, God help us all..
No Identification then they are null and void in my eyes just a threat to my life and I have every right to defend my self because if that's the case your see thousands of civilians dressing up as Leo and breaking the law how can you take a police officer by his word that he is one it's going to be a dog eat dog world police will be surplus to requirements
Cliff Butler exactly anybody can order a officer uniform, if you don’t identify yourself then you are a threat.
@Mick Dundee that's my point there is so many of then from different districts they won't know who the fk any one is then start laying the smack down on there candy arses
So this means if ever stopped, I don't have to show my ID either!
Yep!
You don't unless there is probable cause.
@@checkfactschecking and they will sprinkle crack on you.
Dont forget the need for a real cop!
Its different time right now... U dont need to show card cus is not needed at this time.. They will just shoot u to dead and u cant even tell whos doing it.. The cops??? (r they cops)???
Happy dying everyone
The buck stops at the desk of the men who ordered such illegal actions. That means Trump & Barr. Both belong in prison.
I don't know who ordered this.
I agree with you this is fukked up though and if it's not illegal it should be!
You do now Trump can't order that? It was most likely the chief of police or the Mayor.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
😂😂😂
Sheesh, what has America become, the police are becoming like the Gestapo secret police
What do you think of the new SS uniforms? Too much black in my opinion.
"ffs" what next, Tanks..🤷
That's exactly like in France 😱
@@gl1500ctv So what your saying is they might get shot because they wear black..Oh well, more fool them then, they wanna wear that color..smh

You are so right!!
Good idea
Please don’t, don’t add to anymore violence please
go ahead...but do not cry when you get spit on
They take taxpayer money and this is what they do.

@Damdu Dak LOL, racism and u care about looters, there will all ways be looters no matter what, plus this stuff looters are stealing is being stolen from businesses (NOT government-owned which doesn't affect ur taxes) so when u say taxpayers are getting affected by looters you're just slow.
They use the money to build communities , combat poverty , and use it for cops that keep you safe
Don’t stereotype all cops as being horrible murderers because of the actions of extreme minorities that is straight up wrong
“It’s different times, man.”
Last words of the republic
That minor was like 7 years old, to spray mace at a child is messed up
A yr old getting sprayed and crying her lungs out, and a 75 year old man being pushed by the police and bleeding out his ear. They just be attacking anybody; this isn’t the equality we asked for
I’ve seen several elderly men being shoved to the ground and tiny women like shoved individually, not as a group tactical maneuver in a line.
Wtf is mace
@@blacklyfe5543 It's a brand of self defence spray, that's so popular, that the brand name became synonymous with all kind of irritants, that can be sprayed from a can. Pepper spray, tear gas, cs spray....
A Virginia state delegate(and marine veteran), Lee Carter, went up to the police and asked them who was in charge there and they threw a flashbang at his feet. He started asking and suggesting to cut public funding to police unions and the republicans started tweet demanding Delegate Carter Lee be forced to resign.
That cop didn't seem to mind taking part in a fascist state.
The one who told that it was an order? I am very sure, everyone who agrees with it, wouldn't have told. The bad ones Wouldn't let them be filmed if they would have told.
Look up how the hong kong police where taken by in there day to day lives
What do you tink will happen in a country WITH GUNS legal and idiots running around
I would take that order for safety
@@rickvandam3238 then I don't need to be identified by people with guns... See how that works??? Accountability is accountability.. Wtf r u thinking? Seriously?

@Not Suspicious Human
The violent or destructive rioters seem to be enabled by the peaceful ones, rather than kicked out of the peaceful protest.
Is this America?? Never thought I’d see the day.
@Paul an American Uh...you think the BLM protests are full of KKK? Seriously, how do people come up with this stuff? Like, do you just not understand abbreviations?

@Brandon Poteet CURSES!!! FOILED AGAIN!!
The cops are truly dangerous in this country.
Now the world can see what people of color have always known. They are frightening.
They have the Right to Defend Some of the both sides (Protestors and Themselves), But Not When they hid their own identity from both sides
Let's make a petition of getting rid of the police and military. They kill people and kill is bad.
Is it only the cops? The people too! All are the same in that country. Why are you not talking about the looters?
I respect the police force and the peaceful protesters. Why should I pick a side?
If you don't know, the cops are Americans, not aliens. They are from the same people. Now, what are you expecting from them? Start a blame game?
Harsh authority is required to handle harsh people.
The USA was never peaceful or completely violent free, this country is violent ever since it born. Now what you expect from the cops so the people of the same land?
@@actualyoungsoo Let's not, thank you!

Real cops do get paid, being a police officer is a job.
@HUNGRYFoodie Not really, no. People have walked away scot free from shooting police officers that didn't identify themselves as such.
Look it up.
So if you've got no badge, no ID, and no insignia, guess what? The only difference between you and a cop impersonator is well... nothing
"I feared for my life, I had no idea he/she was a law enforcement officer, and they never identified themselves as such.
Cops getting shot during no knock raids and people getting acquitted from all charges is what is leading to sweeping changes in raid legislation.
The minute one of these jackasses takes a bullet from a civilian that makes it to court and then walks, I guarantee you we'll see things change.
Cops hate it when we enjoy the same privileges they do.
As far as I'm concerned if they're going to hide their badges, and they're not going to show their face, or their name I don't know that there are police officer and I'm allowed to shoot them in self-defense. You have to prove to me that you're an officer that bad just part of the proof, so there's no reason that I should be allowed to shoot him if I feel threatened by him.

This has to be illegal.
Yeah, but who do you call when the cops are the bad guys?
Just don't acknowledge them as leo if they don't identify treat them as a threat and be ready to defend your self that's the only way you can be sure that is not just a member of the public trying to rob or violate you
It’s not illegal. May be against policy.
EXCUSE ME? NO ID? ILL DO THE SAME WHEN U PULL ME OVER " yea I'm a citizen that's all u need to know bye"
I was thinking the same thing. Don’t forget to cover up your car plates.
When who pulls you over?
Could be anybody at this point.
No way to tell if this a law or Joe Pyscho down the street.
If they do not identify who they are, are they really cops?
No badge no name no authority!
Wow! That’s unethical- than anyone can pose as a cop, and omg idk- but that’s sickening- now who are the thugs? If you’re doing nothing wrong why are you hiding your information!
Police officer: "Its different times right now."
Me : If only you understood your statement.....
Hummmmm. Could it. be the president of law and order that ordered the hide and seek of police badge ID? If the police had any respect for the oath they took they'd give him the knee. They can't fire all of them!!!
I thought it was already illegal for them to do that... smh
Because "different times"
Laws tends to change in a big f$ck!ng hurry in your country.
What if these are foreign military and police? Could that be possible? I mean that would be a loophole of some sort around our constitution and military oaths right? Also perhaps with foreign police and military, they would be less likely to back out of enforcing control over American citizens. Once this occurs then the fox is already in the hen house, then it's GAME OVER AMERICA...
So no individual nor any police department can be held accountable when violence is unleashed on peaceful protesters and black live matter marchers. It is hideous when authority choose to respond on peaceful demonstration against injustice in this manner.
this is the true form of "Helter Sketer Scenario" charles mansos did it
They make the law as they go. To justify they criminal offences
Its justified, since they received such orders from the department of "justice".
No badge means their not a peace officer.... So don't listen to them
Yeah, then them plus 6 more of the same come around.. You try not to do what they tell you. Resist
Hopefully people around will help, the people out protesting are all doing it for the same reason, stick together no matter how hard, numbers are the only advantage we have.
Unfortunately for us, people are animals. Our instinct for self preservation will nearly always win out over whatever virtues we tout, people are known to abandon their spouses, their parents, and even their children if it means saving their own hide. Lets face it, we deserve to go extinct.
@HUNGRYFoodie They need to be visual otherwise citizens can lawfully make a citizens arrest for impersonating a police officer.
@@bert454 No they can't legally if they identify themselves as police officers or national guard than you need to obay there orders. The most you could do is ask for a supervisor

They maced a kid. A literal child. How can anyone even defend these kinds of acts? Despicable
Thats 100 percent the parents fault kids dont need to be involved in dangerous things like protest and rioting
@@bray1461 Ah but it is cool to bring kids to an anti-lockdown protest where civilians brought their AKs?
@@bray1461 b ray no. They parents didn't spray the kid. The "officer" did.
I'll admit, you're right about the parents making a mistake taking their child to a protest. However, The officer aimed, and sprayed the kid. Its just like if someone points a gun, and shoots someone else.
Just in case you don't know. Pepper spray is used for self defense, so what could a literal kid have done to make the officer feel threatened?
@@ryanf.587 said someone who agree to kill babies
@@pablodrescher-flores9884 did i say that......
You no ID!, Me no ID!
Wait, why are kids at the protests?
Absolutely Unacceptable!
So technically speaking, can't people defend themselves against these officers, who are not even a confirmed law enforcement?
If a "police officer" refused to identify himself and he had a weapon, I would defend myself until he stopped moving, and then call the police to report an impersonator who threatened my life.
@@sacasticdata1840 If he identified as a police officer in the end you'd be charged; it's not worth.
Citizens arrest for impersonating a police officer.
I don’t think their are loads of people walking around with like 2000 Dollars of police gear trying to arrest people
Yes you can kill them in broad day in self defence or to protect a love one because TECHNICALLY they havnt identified themself as an officer, life gets easy when you know rhe law
I would too. Doing anything as a cop these days is dangerous for your life.

When you conceal your badges like that and do not want to reveal your identity, you no longer identify as a police officer, hence should be arrested for initiating attacks or confronting citizens on street.
Well said.
@@boomerangsruckflug8513 Or even impersonating an officer
ANTIFA uses personally identifiable information, which puts the officers at risk.

In the UK it's illegal to impersonate a police officer quite sure it's the same thing in America 😕 what would happen if you got an officer showing ID to ask for the ID of the one hiding it might be interesting 🥴 just making sure you are who you are
"Its different times right now"
That's explain it all.
When that cop said those words it gave me chills.
really? is it not different times? always the victim your parents must be so proud of the little soy boy u are
@@brad6724 What do you mean???
Is that a different time when the police dont want to be identified???
They dont want to be monitored or get caught when killing or abusing the people. Its scary.
@@brad6724 smells like a boomer
To be fair from an outsider perspective of the US here, if i were US police i'd be scared to give out personal information as well, especially knowing that there are both right and left wing extremist groups in america that could at any time go and attack my family or home, this argument isn't to defend them though, merely my perspective of why they are doing it, after all they are just people too.
This is scary
Slap them in the face if thay won't ID get the report will have to ID to charge.
Failure to identify themselves means that their actions have no more authority than those of regular citizens.
Exactly
@HUNGRYFoodie People are fighting for complete justice overhaul because white cops murdered an innocent unarmed civilian.
We're heading further into fascism by each passing day. This needs to end before it's too late!
November couldn't come fast enough for us
Enuph Sayd while yes, I wouldn’t count so much on that. Protesting right now is extremely important.
@Patsy Hamilton You wanna shoot the police? I don't think you have the right to do that.
America is losing its value system....let me come back 5 years later
we need Jack Reacher rn
And John Wick xD
The pepper sprayed a little kid ? WTF. If a cop tries to identify you just tell them " Its different times right now" and see how what that gets you. The people who are supposed to enforce the law are the ones who are breaking the law. The ones who are supposed to keep you safe are the ones creating the danger.
Who takes a little kid to a protest like this anyways...
@@chrisohear3887 Someone trying to get home with from elsewhere who found a protest blocking their street might.
@@tomcutts9200 fair enough
@@chrisohear3887 parents who want to teach their children the value of non violent protest and the constitutional rights afforded to them by the first amendment as well starting a conversation with their children, using this as a teachable moment, about systemic racism and how evil in persists in the world when good people fail to stand up. If you dont stand up for something than you ll fall for anything. I highly doubt these people with a little kid would have been up at the front blocking the police from clearing an area or would have been busting out windows and looting or would have not followed dispersal orders given to them by the police BECAUSE they had a kid with them. It seems more likely that the cops who have been indiscriminately violent to everyone in front of them during these protests and in general ( which is what these protests are about ) are the ones at fault for the kid getting pepper sprayed. What if they didnt even attend these protests but had some reason for being in the area for example they live on that street and were just trying to get home. Thats why cops cant behave that way.
@@Vik7736 nah that's dumb
You do know this means right? I could disguise myself as a cop, slip through the crowd and nobody would notice.
I thought the exact same thing
@Spooky Spectre LOGICALLY I agree with you. But how about the other (darker) side of the coin? What if an anti-protester wears a cop COSTUME (hidden badge and all) and decides to harass, beat up, or otherwise kill protesters? And if he/she is carrying a firearm, who is going to stop them? This "hiding" only protects them and their ill actions and possible worse actions of others looking to harm. No more truth or honour from those who swore to protect and serve.
Spooky Spectre people who are racist
@Spooky SpectreIf the police hide their identities so that they can harass, attack and even kill without facing legal consequences then those same tactics can also be used against them. I am certainly not advocating that anyone do such a terrible thing, I'm just observing that it could be done.
U can't
All those who act as tyrants and oppressers, will reap what they sow. There will be accountability there will be prosecution and exposing who all of them are until they r locked up or out of our land of the free!
So… If an officer who I cannot identify comes up and tries to detain me I can refuse because I have no proof that he is in fact a real officer? Is that correct
You may walk away without interacting. You are not required to talk to a verified officer unless he has probable cause. But in any official interaction, particularly where he wants your name, he must give his. Most agencies require the officer to have his department ID to show if asked, because badge facsimiles may be ordered by mail, as novelty items.
In the strictest sense, even if he detains you, your name, useful in a warrant search, is potentially incriminating, and you are not bound in any case to give evidence against yourself. Some officers, even though they stopped you, may try to charge with delaying an officer, so use your judgment. I can only say if you give your name and it is used to pull a warrant, especially if it is a person other than you, then be sure your lawyer knows you were not mirandized first. If on the other hand, he gives you your rights, first, then tell him you choose to remain silent, and if you're not under arrest, you'll be on your way. If he says he just wants to ask a few questions, tell him you already chose not to. Have a nice day. The truth is, once someone refuses to speak, questioning may not immediately resume. He knows that. If you talk further, you just waived your right. If you slip and say the wrong thing, he can claim probable cause. Move away without delay, even if he asks if you have something to hide. That question violates the essence of the 5th Amendment. Keep walking.
So if, except in probable cause, or to warn about a restricted area, anyone identifying as an officer may be ignored. If he walks up in front, walk wide around him. If he approaches from behind, keep walking. Do not raise a hand even to wave. Don't give any appearance that can be used as an excuse. If he puts a hand on you, back away from him, saying clear enough for others, that he has no reason to be touching you like that. The double meaning should be enough. If he tries to follow, keep backing away. Tell him youre not interested, and you will file an assault charge if he keeps it up. That should stop him. Then turn away from him and walk quickly. Your last resort is, "No, you couldn't pay me enough," said loudly enough to embarrass him. If he is real, with no just cause, or if he is fake, he will leave you alone. Remember, if you end up walking back where you came from, you still avoided injury.
Remember, if he has probable cause, like you just jaywalked, he has authority to detain and question. But a random stop carries no obligation. As long as you make no moves that could be described as a threat, just keep walking, staying at least 3 feet from him.
The use of badges, patches and name tags, as well as ID cards, is to prevent impersonation. Our local department once issued a directive that even with flashing lights, an unmarked car was not to be stopped for, but the driver should go to a well populated area first. If a person just flashed a badge, he was to be asked to show his department ID and call for a marked unit and uniformed officer. So your concern is real.
I seriously believe the highest commanders did not authorize the ID hiding. Perhaps a squad leader or watch commander did it. It is a stupid idea, allowing one bad act to be blamable on everyone. Good officers should never agree to that.

@Priya sweety really, I wasn't there during the Emergency Rule, but I haven't seen any secret police on the roads.
That illegal, if it's not, then the law itself is illegal.
If they have no badge number nor any way to identify themselves they have no authority. That’s why it’s easy to find out police impersonators, because they don’t wear them or if they do it doesn’t match with official info. It’s a basic thing that all officers should carry, and I’m surprised it’s not mandatory already.
what if someone pretends to be a cop, or a military officer 😥
Shoot impersonators on sight.
