That is not how that works. Doxxing is publicly revealing somebody's identity without their consent. That is happening here

You could argue that doxxing in this case is morally justified but it still is doxxing.

They consented when they signed up for the job.

No they didn't. Please point me to the law/policy that says that they should be identifiable. Again whether you think they should be is irrelevant for the question of their consent.

Most officers are required to provide a name, the agency and badge number or some type of verification of their legal authority when asked.

Otherwise how do you know it’s not just some heavily armed asshole impersonating a police officer or a home invasion etc?
