That's a NYC Mayoral candidate nontheless, so.. I guess, coincidence?

Not seeing uniforms or official identity here. If some dudes looking like that made a grab for me on the street, I'd shoot. Didn't used to always carry, but I do now. Especially since I have a legal brown immigrant wife to protect.

EDIT: FUCK ME! Had a longer look. Any asshole can just say, "I'm ICE and you're under arrest!"?! Two days after a fake cop, in a plausible uniform, shoots state Democratic Congressmen?

Democratic leaders need to get a fucking clue and walk armed. "Oh but you might give the fascists an EXCUSE!" Fuck all that.
