Both officers were wearing black uniforms with gold emblems on the sleeves, displaying a gold badge virtually identical to a police shield, and bearing handguns; in short, they were the quintessential image of law enforcement as they ran with weapons drawn towards Day. The officers placed Day in restraints, "terried" him, and began questioning him about the gun and whether he had "anything illegal" on his person. Clearly the officers acted with the intent of deterring crime and assisting law enforcement.I think a rent-an-Only One would have a problem with me. Particularly if they wanted to get "frisky."
And if they're public actors, does that mean the state assumes some liability for their misdeeds? They shouldn't be able to have it both ways.
