Playing Cops: Criminals Pretending To Be Police Is a National Problem

Working at a 24/7 bodega in the heart of Brooklyn, Tajuken Deli employees are prepared for almost anything – except having guns pointed at their heads by cops.
That’s what seemed to be happening one early April morning last year, when four armed men dressed in police uniforms flashed their badges, yelling “NYPD” as they stormed the neighborhood shop. Surveillance video shows one worker being quickly knocked to the ground and zip-tied into submission before being dragged to the back of the store. Another worker and customer were also subdued as the masked thieves dressed as cops made off with cash and a bag of lottery ticket receipts before fleeing in a dark van.
“You don’t know who to trust nowadays,” local resident Danny Taylor told a TV reporter.

Clearly we need not only protection from Gooferment bureaucrats, but also those criminals pretending to be police.
(1) Tougher laws and sentences for these idiots. How any State can not have tough laws in just dumb!
(2) Unmarked vehicles Should be backed up with a marked car!
(3) Out of uniform police should also be backed up with a uniformed officer.
(4) ICE should be required to be badged and identifiable.
(5) Impersonators should bear the full result if they are shot or injured. No suing the victims.
Seems that these should be political priorities!
Argh!
