I have no problem with a plain clothed officer making an arrest if they CLEARLY identify themselves as officers when making the arrest. Those agents didn't. They refused questions of whether or not they were law enforcement and were literally loading people into unmarked vans.
I am quite frankly shocked that there wasn't violence in response to that.
- pc86 3y agoI wouldn't consider myself a gun nut by any stretch, but how is the appropriate response to people who won't identify themselves trying to load you into the back of an unmarked van not violent-quickly-approaching-lethal force? Anyone with knowledge in the area will tell you that if you're the subject of an attempting kidnapping (or carjacking or anything in that ballpark) your number one goal is to not get taken to another location. Whatever you have to do, don't get taken somewhere else because it's definitely going to be something more favorable to the assailant. I too am shocked that this didn't end in violence and serious injury or worse.
