Video surfaced Sunday showing a tense confrontation erupt as two men — one armed and wearing a mask and body armor, and the other with a camera — enter the lobby of the Dearborn police station.
The nearly six-minute video shows police officers surround self-described open carry advocates Brandon Vreeland, 40, and James Baker, 24, when they entered the station in February.
“In Michigan it is leagl (sic) to open carry. That includes public common areas. Police stations are considered public common areas,” a note in the video says, adding “Keep in mind, I am a journalist gathering content for a story.”

The video shows two officers yell at the two men mere seconds after entering the station. “Dude, put that on the ground,” one officer yells before another joins, repeating the orders. “Put it on the ground.”
“I will shoot you,” one officer says and another, “I will put a round in you, sir.”
