You still haven’t responded to the strongest part of the argument here:

I’m what ways do you believe any of this justifies kidnapping people?

Kidnapping? Really?

The officers have POLICE on their chest in big letters. People getting arrested have helmets, bats and window breaking tools on. They aren't "protestors". They are preventing peaceful protestors.

Also there's some claims of some of them being undercover agents who have infiltrated Antifa though I am not sure if that can be confirmed.

You claim, “People getting arrested have helmets...” and that, “They aren’t protestors.” - here’s a video of a peaceful protestor getting taken in an unmarked vehicle [0]. Sadly, plenty more exist of similar conduct.

But two responses later and you’ve still ignored the question: what difference does it make what they’ve done - why defend unmarked police? I’ve taken the time to show evidence that it’s occurred, it’d be nice if you reciprocated some effort.

They don't just have police badges, they also have patches on their shoulders which is for DHS. This was reported couple days ago that DHS will be coming in to stop the rioting:

Media's claim that they are "unidentified" is simply false.

I can get my friend who owns a fabric printer to print “POLICE” on to every piece of clothing I own.

Does that make me identifiably a law enforcement officer?

If they aren’t wearing unique identification, then I’m going to confite arguing they aren’t identifiable.
