    So, to review: officers won't display identification, or reveal their names upon request, or state the agency for which they work #Ferguson

        @SlickeryTrigger Anytime I am in contact with the police, I fear 4 my safety. Police killed more people since 9-11 than combat in Iraq/Afgan

        @SlickeryTrigger @mtracey Police that won't reveal their identity are usually associated with despotic regimes.

        @SlickeryTrigger Police killed about 5500 since 9-11. I am not claiming most of those were bad shoots, but it is more than combat deaths.

        @BluegrassPundit @SlickeryTrigger We only protest when a white cop is the shooter, though right? I attend protests against white cops only.

        @SlickeryTrigger @BluegrassPundit @mtracey IMO that's the whole point here. Average citizens ARE increasingly scared of police, with reason.

        @mtracey @russbengtson Traditionally, when the nightsticks and dogs come out, so does the black tape on the badge number.
