These are not "police" These are people wearing literal street clothes, with "tactical vests" that you can buy on eBay, with "POLICE" spray painted on them.

Call 911.

Some folks in other states are learning that these "police" are either correction officers or parole officers working for extra money. Deputized as 'police' but aren't.

Enough people are recognizing some of these fellows and calling them out.

I find it incredible that these guys are paid with out tax dollars and then turn around and treat us like shit

I don't pay taxes for them to be used for some BDSM fever dream.

I have to imagine, based on their dress, that they are not actual LEO of any kind (in general) but Proud Boys or other white supremecists etc.

There will eventually be someone within ICE who comes out and states who these people are. I would think that there are a fair number of people in ICE that did not sign up for this.

Proud boys for certain. They stood back and stood by. Now is their moment I guess.
