In response to immigration raids by masked federal officers in Los Angeles and across the nation, two California lawmakers on Monday proposed a new state law to ban members of law enforcement from concealing their faces while on the job.

The bill would make it a misdemeanor for local, state and federal law enforcement officers to cover their faces with some exceptions, and also encourage them to wear a form of identification on their uniform.

“We’re really at risk of having, effectively, secret police in this country,” said state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), co-author of the bill.

    Because people dont read history text books… They know star wars, they dont know details about what happened in Germany in the late 1930s, if they did, we would not be in this situation…

      Also stormtroopers were ripping their name from WW1 shocktroopers, they ran through the storm of bullet and thunder of artillery. Though it should be noted that some Nazi stormtroopers were actual WW1 stormtroopers, it should be noted that as a venn diagram it wasn’t a single circle.
