As large as the public show-of-force on D.C.'s streets has turned out to be - Bloomberg reported Thursday that the force includes nearly 3,000 law enforcement - it still represents only a tiny sliver of the government's armed agents and officers. The government only counts up its law enforcement personnel every eight years, and all told, at last count in 2016, the federal government employed over 132,000 civilian law enforcement officers - only about half of which come from the major "brand name" agencies like the FBI, ATF, Secret Service, DEA and Customs and Border Protection. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), which serves as the general academy for federal agencies who don't have their own specialized training facilities, lists around 80 different agencies whose trainees pass through its doors in Georgia, from the IRS' criminal investigators and the TSA's air marshals to the Offices of the Inspector General for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Railroad Retirement Board. Don't forget the armed federal officers at the Environmental Protection Agency or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Law Enforcement, whose 150 agents investigate conservation crime like the Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16 USC § 971-971k) and the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 (16 USC § 773-773k).

Those anonymous "officers" are going to be a big problem soon. A recipe for disaster. They're not even trained for police work.
