It's a no-win situation. If they fight back, they get labeled as terrorists. If they don't fight back, it provides positive feedback for the behavior and is likely to continue.

Learned helplessness seems like the goal here.

They aren't unmarked - their camouflage uniform clearly says "POLICE" on the front.

To be clear, do not shoot someone with POLICE written on their uniform, or even anyone you suspect might be a police officer, because you will spend the rest of your life in jail.

The pics I’ve seen show a small “police” patch in dark lettering over camo obscured by assault rifle straps and equipment. That’s not very clear in the dark when they don’t identify themselves and are putting a bag over your head

I would call that unmarked, as I’m not aware of any federal agency who identifies themselves as “police”.

They also have agency patches on — there's a lot of misinformation being spread about them being unidentified.

Especially with lots of alt-right military-cosplayers that frequent portland to stir up conflict. It's hard to tell who is a fed goon and who is an alt-right goon when they both shop from the same military suppliers. This has been going on for over a year.

Do you have an issue with undercover cops? Plain clothes cops? They all have unmarked cars. I dont hear anyone complaining....

The only reason people are freaking out is because they are going directly after antifa. You attack federal buildings, you get arrested.. or let go because NLG is a legal arm of Antifa and pays your bail.
