An off-duty cop 'terrorized' a family displaying a BLM flag. Police drove him home without arrest.

Just after midnight on Halloween, a blaring car alarm and a loud banging sound startled Mirella Castaneda and woke her young son.

A man stood in her driveway in Forest Grove, Ore., slamming his fist into the Black Lives Matter flag draped over the metal garage door as the security alarm on the family's pickup truck continued to beep.

Instead of arresting Teets, though, one of the responding officers simply drove him home.
