Yes, but you haven’t said whether you think this means that the names, photos and home addresses of all police should be made public.

Just because someone does public work doesn’t mean they should be denied a private life.

What do you suggest to do here? Either you allow the oppressors to beat people and stay anonymous, not get punished or you create a community trying to deanonymize them with all the consequences.

“not get punished”

Are you saying the goal of de-anonymizing is to punish the police?

Earlier it seemed like you were interested in trials: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24862054
