It's no longer a question of what if fascism comes to the USA. The question now is, what do we do to defeat fascism?

I keep seeing people asking cops like this for badge numbers. Why?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 16 points 1 week ago

Requesting officer information is a vital step in protecting your rights and promoting transparency in police interactions. This information can be useful in various ways, such as:

Filing a complaint or reporting misconduct

Seeking legal counsel or advice

Requesting police reports or documentation

Ensuring officer accountability and transparency

you may be fine with some anonymous fascism but I want the badge # and name so when I sue, I know who the fuck to go after.

It's so a complaint can be filed against the officer.
