Doing the right thing isnt always safe... Dont get me wrong, this antiimmigration thing is disgusting, but them covering up is not a good indicator of shittiness.
Then cover your face, people have families, I get it. But you better be wearing a badge or something identifying you as who you are. Because as far as the general public is concerned, this is just a photo of four kidnappers waiting in public.
It is when they're acting as a police force.
It is though. It’s not like they’re brave undercover heroes going into cartel territory, trying to protect their families from retaliation. These are in general population hiding their faces because they know what they’re doing is illegal, unethical, and would be shamed by pretty much everyone. They’re are trying to escape charges. They are criminals
In this context it is not only 100% a direct indicator of shittiness but also one of doing the wrong thing.
