Well, you're right, "stormtroopers" was overboard... I was visualizing the Star Wars guys when I said that... and my description wasn't to disparage lea's, just their anonymity when in battle gear.
As I said, I mostly agree with your post, and I do support law enforcement. What I find a touch alarming is the lack of identity. It would be nice to know their precinct and badge numbers. It would be better PR for the LEO's too.
In the context of this thread, I'm not concerned. But if and when it becomes the hillary/reno squad, it could be a whole different matter.

Glock, you rock. I realized after you posted you were only emphasizing your point. I've done the same in some of my posting hyperbole, LOL.
I read somewhere the cops don't wear badges or ID in these potential "combat" situations. Probably due to the fact that they can be ripped off, run off with and used for a variety of nefarious purposes. The do have ID somewhere on their person, though.
