NYPD officers detain black man, then free him when he IDs as an "FBI agent"

#DmtDaily

In this video, two NYPD cops are seen detaining a black man during ongoing protests against police brutality. The casual racism and hostility to a peaceful bystander is appalling in any case, but these cops have made a worse error: the man they've handcuffed identifies himself as an FBI agent. They free the man at once.

Here's a longer cut of the video.

Whether or not the man is really an FBI agent, it's a great illustration of law enforcers being predatory bullies whose behavior changes completely around perceived power and privilege.
