WATCH: Exclusive Video of Coast Guard Making False Arrest of Man for Attending Jan. 6th Rally — “If they don’t want this guy detained, this is not good.”

NEW BUFFALO, Mich. — REAL News Michiana has obtained exclusive bodycam video of a false arrest of Granger man by the United States Coast Guard last month. The Coast Guard made the arrest based off of a flyer sent to them from an anonymous source, then claimed the man was wanted for assaulting a federal officer at the January 6th, 2021, rally in Washington D.C. It turned out, there was no warrant.

The Coast Guard arrested Walker on June 11th of this year at the Moorings Marina in New Buffalo. However, there was no warrant and no evidence the 68-year-old retiree did anything illegal. In fact, it appears the Coast Guard was acting on an anonymous tip without first verifying the information with the FBI.

“For us, we had the tip, and that’s all we really needed to put him in handcuffs.” Coast Guard member, Rylan Ragar, said on the bodycam footage.

Walker says he was at the marina when he saw several Coast Guard members doing boat inspections.

“I said, ‘Are you guys doing inspections?’ And they said, ‘yeah.’ I said ‘Can I get my boat inspected?’ And they said, ‘Yeah, sure.’” Walker said. “They followed me to my boat. And, as soon as I stepped onto my dock, took about two steps, they said ‘Halt. Don’t move. Turn around.’”

At that point, Walker tells RNM, the Coast Guard informed him they were acting on a warrant from the FBI.

"There's the problem. The FBI basically created the "flier" themselves."

"flier"? I thought the fake perpetrator was at his boat and not at an airport...Oh, you meant to say "flyer", not "flier"...

Seriously though, a huge societal problem we have now is that "talk" is no longer as cheap as it should be. Make "talk" cheap again!

Also, it's okay to hate those who use, believe and respond to costly "talk" because it's part of the process of ruining innocent peoples' careers, relationships and their lives altogether. "Talk" is NOT cheap!

Aren’t federal military forces, presumably including the Coast Guard, prohibited from enforcing civilian laws under the posse comitatus act? Arrest without a warrant …what the hell is happening in our country?

I know two men who were arrested and jailed for constitutional peaceful protest related traffic infractions. One spent 5 days in jail and was just released today. He never received a ticket but assumed there was one so he went to the police dept, found out there was one, paid it in full ($60) and was taken into custody later that day. He has a Constitutional attorney and is seeking a civil rights attorney.

The other has similar citations, fought extradition so they released him. I believe he’s turning himself in along with his Constitutional attorney today

I agree, and in case nobody else noticed, "woke" progressive Democrats and their constituents have unwittingly and spectacularly revealed their idiocy, stupidity, ignorance, depravity, lack of common sense and sound logic, and it will be inevitable that they will fall hard and flat on their ugly faces.

Why does it not surprise me we have yet another FedGov agency that’s fallen to corruption/incompetence.

They have harassed everyone, even those law abiding citizens, that went. Even those who never left the political rally, never went near congress.

This is all about intimidation, political, and limiting free speech. It’s not an accident, and it’s disgusting. However, since we went full fascist in 2020, it’s expected.

Well, sure. He has to be guilty of something or they wouldn't have arrested him.

The Coast Guard made the arrest based off of a flyer sent to them from an anonymous source...

The Dems are very fond of anonymous tips, anonymous testimony, untraceable actions, and both falsifying and destroying evidence. This wasn't a mistake, it was the new normal.

#13: "Why hasn't Ray Epps been arrested? "

Good question. Incitement to Riot is a crime. And Epps was clearly the ringleader of incitement.

"The tip appears to be a fake “FBI wanted” poster that was mailed to several law enforcement agencies across the area by an anonymous source."

Just the typical citizen of today following the rules our communist masters have imposed:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

We owe Ray Epps a punch in the face, or at least a swift kick in the nuts.
