These so-called "patriot" groups are armed and dangerous and are willing to shoot not only police but others who disagree with them over land use laws.  I want to protect the names of officers, who in the process of engaging this group, need the protection of anonymity.  This armed group of angry people are capable of attacking anyone as they target police officers.  This is different than releasing the name of an officer who shoots an unarmed black person, etc.  This is an organized group who is being funded by the likes of the Koch brothers on a mission to convert public lands to local control.  It is a bullying tactic. We even have people running for elected office on this platform.
