Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been pulling guns on off-duty officers of color while illegally demanding their citizenship papers.

And when they identify as a cop, ICE doesn't verify and just walks away...

"And after the officer became so concerned, they were forced to identify themselves as a Brooklyn Park police officer in hopes of slowing the incident and de-escalating the incident down."

"The agents then immediately left after hearing this, making no other comments, no other apologies, just got in their vehicles and left."

Bruley said the anecdote was not an isolated incident.

Or: Off duty cops see dangerous fascists doing illegal stuff and do nothing.

Is everyone a cop on this blessed day? (Or some similar, not legally protected title, think security officer is enough?
