Omg this is true! A off duty ICE agent was at a gas station pumping gas today when he was snatched up by ICE and they didn’t listen to him or look at his papers just like all of the people he’s been doing the same thing to! Karma must suck because selling his soul didn’t help him

Want to know how to lose elections? Public officials who appear more concerned about criminals than victims. Boston’s mayor, DA and police chief offer ‘condolences, thoughts and prayers’ for a knife-wielding attacker who was shot to death by an off-duty Boston police officer. The off-duty cop was in a Chick-fil-A when two people chased by a man with a knife ran inside. The cop identified himself, told the man to drop his weapon, and shot him when he kept up the attack.

While on duty, a police officer entered an IRS building in Ohio with his service weapon, as required by his job. A security guard stopped him, insisting that firearms weren’t allowed inside and asking the officer to put the weapon back in his car. The officer explained that he was on duty and couldn’t leave his firearm behind. The situation escalated when the guard drew his own gun and called 911. When police arrived, they reviewed what happened and ultimately arrested the security guard.

NEW: Family of a Milwaukee man who was shot & k*lled by an off-duty police officer admits the action was justified after seeing the dashcam recording. Elijah Wilks was shot after he ran his car into the off-duty officer and pistol-whipped him when they pulled over. Family and friends initially claimed that the police were lying about their account of events; however, bodycam footage proved the police account was completely accurate. "No, they are not telling the truth. The story they posted is not the truth. Not the truth at all. Not the truth at all," a family friend tried claiming. Since the dashcam has been released, the family admits that the action from the off-duty officer was justified.

An off duty officer decided he wanted to play cop and perform traffic duty while once again not on duty. Looks to me like he let his own road rage get the best of him leading to what he did to this man. This is why I keep saying, make sure you have a dash cam. How would this have gone without one?

A few years ago an off duty black cop was trying to impress the dumpy lady in the elevator when he shot himself in the stomach. The same dummy is now a school resource officer.

🔴🇫🇷 "There’s no such thing as dying at 25 for a robbery. It’s not supposed to exist. We’re in France. Dylan robbed a jewellery shop at gunpoint. Passers-by and an off-duty police officer subdued him. The investigation points to a cardiac attack during the arrest, but demonstrators are trying to claim that he was "killed." They also say the robbery suspect, Dylan, was just "had a family and friends to feed. He was always thinking of his fellow man."
