Wha?

Submitted by DrewHendricks on Wed, 07/12/2006 - 4:10pm.One face has been 'painted' over so that the person pictured in the photo is not targeted by the NSM. The picture was taken at a Unity in the Community event, and the NSM considers all UITC participants to be communists or race traitors.
I had been meaning to ask
Submitted by The Fire Inside on Wed, 07/12/2006 - 5:03pm.I had been meaning to ask this, and I think it is an interesting question (I honestly don't know which way I would come down on it, either. I just wanted to seek your opinion):
You covered the face for protection from a potential threat, which I understand (protecting a private citizens identity).
Do you think individuals who work as government employees surrender claim to private citizen status?
"I am for free commerce with all nations, political connection with none, and little or no diplomatic establishment. And I am not for linking ourselves by new treaties with the quarrels of Europe, entering that field of slaughter to preserve their balance."
Depends...
Submitted by DrewHendricks on Thu, 07/13/2006 - 2:54pm.I do have photos of police officers, which I publish from time to time in a flyer format (it has been two years since we most recently did this). I have a web page which will feature a series of photos, hopefully of every patrol officer on the OPD force in the next couple of weeks or months. I've only been saying that now for 14 months...
That said, what does "private citizen status" mean? That I would not publish a photo of that person? This seems to be the implied, but not specified.
The threat for an armed officer having his or her photo online is minimal: these are uniformed officers who can be identified readily by their uniform, without need for online photographs to make them apparent to the public. The reason we publish who's who online or on paper is so that people with complaints about police behaviour can identify who it was who did the thing they complain about. Accountability rests on identification. If you doubt me, there are police manuals on ID which can point out the theory underlying this concept.
The threat for an unarmed civilian employee having his or her photo online is minimal - but unneccessary, since they are not weilding weapons or force in public. Say we're talking about the documents clerk at OPD, or the shipping clerk at WSP. What would be the point of publishing a face for someone who is not in contact with the general public? If the public employee is not using force, or the threat of force, in their duties I see no reason to publish their face online. Yet they are as much a government employee as any soldier or LE officer.
The civilian woman whose face I covered in the photo is presumably a participant in the Olympia Unity in the Community event in Sylvester Park, and is pictured right behind Nigel F, a Nazi from California. The threat to her, while low, exists. She does not make arrests or use force in Olympia. I don't see a reason to hold her accountable for her attendance at the event. The Nazis, I see a reason to hold accountable - I see them as a potential threat of violence. And they have stated that they will hold us accountable for being a diversity community, individually labelling some of us "race traitors." So masking seems appropriate here, since I am hosting the image and she has no control over its publication.
