WATCH: Michigan Cops Threaten to Kill Open Carry Activists

• https://photographyisnotacrime.com, Carlos Miller

There is no law against open carrying inside a police department in Michigan, but that didn't stop the cops from ordering them to the floor at gunpoint, threatening to kill them by daring them to make a wrong move.

James Baker and Brandon Vreeland were arrested around 3 p.m. Sunday and released shortly before midnight.

Dearborn police charged them with resisting, breach of peace and failure to comply, keeping their guns and their cameras.

Baker was recording on Facebook Live, so video of the arrest survived.

Baker was carrying an AK-47 while wearing a ski mask. Temperatures were in the 30s in Dearborn on Sunday. He was also carrying a sidearm.

Vreeland was unarmed but police obtained a search warrant for his car and found his AR-15 in the trunk.
