Phoenix police fire sergeant who brought gun to ICE protest
The ABC15 Investigators have confirmed that a Phoenix police sergeant has been fired after videos captured him at a high school ICE protest armed and wearing a mask in January.
Last month, body camera video showed tense moments as off-duty Sergeant Dusten Mullen told a Chandler police officer he was at the protest with a goal to get kids in jail if they wanted to break the law.
“My plan is legitimately to just let them all assault me, and you guys arrest them all,” Mullen could be heard saying, “ I will keep it on film. I also have other people filming from a distance, so my goal would be to get all these kids in jail if they want to break the law.”
Mullen was placed on administrative leave in April as the Phoenix Police Department investigated Mullen's involvement in the protest, which escalated to the arrest of one teenager.
