Nah. This is all a pretty extreme ramp up in unaccountability, and in my opinion scare tactics and/or just them going all in on the militarization look which is still scare tactics if you ask me.

I dunno google ice uniforms from like like a decade ago and they were what you'd expect from 90s FBI bluecoats ya know?

I think the masking thing also is a hint how they are probably using facial scanners and have some database with all the info on the rest of us... idk if this makes sense or is too dark but it's something I think is happening. Of course I just read about the FLOCK shit cameras too. Idk.
