Severe, extraordinary rendition of Trump protesters in NYC ?
No face, no badge, no police uniform.
How do you report police violence and abuse, if you cannot see your attacker, cannot identify your attacker, cannot discern what your attacker is ?
NYPD officer patrolling an anti-Trump demonstration wearing a full-on assassin style hood.
Is it against the rules for an armed civil servant to cover his face like a cartoon jewel thief?
Not according to an NYPD spokesman, who told the Daily News that “the cop was in full compliance with department uniform regulations,” despite looking like a Russian cop who's about to arrest a newspaper owner.
What makes the spokesman’s comments even more curious is that the department’s own patrol guide explicitly says they can’t.
Procedure number 204-03 details acceptable, optional uniform items, and very clearly prohibits hoods that cover even part of the face, let alone all of it.
Hoods made of bulky yarns or double knits and those styles which cover any part of the nose, cheeks or mouth are prohibited,” the guide reads.

Formal protest letter sent from law office.
Reply from police spokesman, exception made for raincoats, only badge is required on outside of raincoat.
Covered badges, covered faces, no nameplate, no numbers.
Baclaclavas, paramilitary gear.
