https://heavy.com/news/2020/07/zti-patch-portland-zt1/A photo is going viral on social media showing a federal agent holding a gun in Portland, Oregon while wearing what appears to be a patch that reads ZTI. Some people on social media are speculating that this is connected to a private company called ZTi. However, that is not accurate. The patch actually reads ZT1 and is part of an identifier system that federal agencies are using right now in Portland instead of placing an officers name on the uniform.
Heres what you need to know.
The ZT-1 Patch Is a Personal Identifier So the Names of the Agents Arent Known Publicly
The post, which has gone viral on social media sites like Facebook, shows what looks like a federal agent in a camo-uniform in Portland wearing a U.S. Marshalls patch and a patch that looks like it says either ZT-I or ZT-1. Other posts show an agent with a patch that reads SRT, with similar paramilitary claims.

that can be cross-referenced to hold individuals accountable for their actions, seems ok to me.
Anonymous combatants without any accountability is an issue.
