Armed men in tactical vests arrested at Dearborn PD

Two men were arrested Sunday after police say they walked into the Dearborn Police Department wearing tactical vests and armed with cameras, an AP-14 and a handgun.

Video shot by one of the men shows a brief but tense standoff.

“Put it on the ground or you are dead,” one officer yelled during the chaotic scene. “I will shoot you.”

Another officer added his voice to the orders.

“I will put a round in you, sir,” he said. “Put that rifle on the ground.”

These guys apparently didn't break the law but scared the crap out of everyone and the police were close to shooting them. It's legal, but for what purpose, other than to strut around. Other than hunting, when would you need to run around with a rifle?

of the "Muslim foreigners" in Dearborn.

They wanted to provoke something and they got their wish. Just not the way they expected to. These guys hail from the same areas that spawned the Michigan Militia and Timothy McVeigh.
