Drunk, Off-Duty Police Harass, Possibly Kidnap Immigrant; Charges Pending

A truck driver, who immigrated here from Ethiopia, was unable to complete his delivery to Aldi.  Since he had to wait until the next day, he went to a local bar 

While he was there, he became the focus of two off-duty police officers, who themselves became the subjects of an FBI investigation after they decided to detain him because they imagined he was an illegal immigrant.

"This guy's not from this country," one of them explains.  "So we started fighting with him.  He's like I'm, you know, whatever.  So here we are.  He's holding him down."

"Regardless if he's from this country or not, what happened?"

"He's not from this country."

"Yeah, okay.  What happened, though?"

The anti-immigrant rhetoric in this country, constantly referencing everybody's nationality and immigration status, leads to bullshit like this. 

One of these clowns is on a DEA task force, the other a Cleveland police officer on their ATF task force.  Their reason for pinning this Texas truck driver to the ground?  He's not from this country. 

"I'm not gonna be the guy in the news like, oh, you're on a fuckin'  security cam, this guy ends up blowing the fuckin' mall up tomorrow.  Don't care who I offend, dude."

Bartender:

They were really being aggressive with him.  He was sitting here.  They were trying to snatch his phone.  They were turning his arm.

Investigating officer:

"They're drunk, and this guy came up to them and started saying some stuff.  And they were like, oh, this guy's a terrorist.  We can't let him go."

Other investigating officer:

"That's what I mean.  Does that sound sane to you?"

First officer:

"No."

Same.  Fuck these two.  They're being investigated by both the county and the FBI.  They're off their task forces now.  I hope the one who said he didn't care about giving offense gets un-policed altogether because he's a menace.  They both are.  Their coworkers seemed well aware of it, so maybe.
