Critics argue that masks may have hindered security personnel’s ability to identify suspects during the incident. The discussion follows ongoing concerns about balancing health protocols with law enforcement effectiveness in crowded public spaces. Authorities are now weighing whether current policies could be adjusted to improve visibility and response times.
