zReportage.com Story of the Week #764: TUESDAY December 1, 2020: ‘NEW MODEL ARMY’ from ZUMA Press award winning Newspaper the Albuquerque Journal photojournalist Roberto E. Rosales and journalist Matthew Reisen: In recent months, private militias across the country have reacted angrily to pandemic lockdown measures, and they have shown up in force at anti-fascist and Black Lives Matter protests. New Mexico has been keeping its eye on unlawful militias, ever since the so-called New Mexico Civil Guard began appearing at demonstrations against police brutality and colonial monuments. In a civil suit aimed at stopping the militia, the state wrote the group ”usurped law enforcement authority,” noting that ”New Mexico law forbids unregulated private security forces and unregulated paramilitary organizations because they are not accountable to the people, they pose a threat to public safety, and they encourage rather than deter or quell violence.” However, there’s no easy solution to the country’s dangerous and growing militia problem. Welcome to: ‘NEW MODEL ARMY’

Health officials say it would change American lives for the better, if it became a cultural norm in the U.S. for people to wear masks when they’re under the weather or in crowded areas. In Japan or South Korea, locals might get dirty looks if they hop on a subway with a sniffle and no mask. Thru out America rallies protesting masks, as a violation of their personal freedom. Meanwhile for others it is the new normal, as they have gotten used to wearing them in public. Like the seat belt a generation ago. Public health experts believe that American culture could fundamentally shift to embrace this new hygiene practices. What do the you think? Welcome to: ‘Behind MY Mask’
