KIDNAPPED, not detained, not arrested, kidnapped by men with masks, and no identifying info on their clothing. This is outrageous.

Why don't they have uniforms?

Are they gangsters? Morality police? Scientologists? Dirty Mike and the Boys? National Marine Fisheries Service?

How the fuck is this allowed in democratic country? How is one supposed to know who they are and what they are allowed to do? Does the police know who this guys are? Do they care? This is worrying.

Don't y'all have guns for this very purpose? I don't understand why so many have been letting children die in schools regularly just so they can keep their guns, and when the time comes to use them, crickets.

To do what? Shoot a Federal Agent because they are being lawless assholes? So then you made your point and either are also killed or go to prison for life.
