If I see this, I fully plan on asking them for their identification, if they refuse I'll call the police on them. Masked armed men menacingly hanging out wherever they are.

Armed gunmen with mask are famous for not politely waiting for you to finish a phone call before putting you in a death camp or gunning you down.

This is an excellent point, but if somebody doesn't stand up, it'll never get better. I'm a born citizen, and white dude, statistically I have a better chance than someone else. I saw CA is trying to pass a law not allowing these officers to wear masks. While they'll likely ignore it at first, simply record and call the police. Eventually they'll stop. Once they're exposed and can face consequences, most of the atrocious behavior will stop.
