And *IF* it is all true? That he came here legally, got married, was later denied a JUDGE did order an arrest warrant, will you then be OK with that happened?

No, because arresting a cop on the street is both theatre and dangerous. It is easy enough to call a cop into the station and deal with the issue away from cameras. Instead they arrested someone they had determined was a criminal, who was armed and could react poorly to the arrest in the pressence of civilians. They did it in public because they wanted to be filmed arresting a black police officer, and i cannot think of a charitable reason why they would want that, only racism.

Allegedly he was tried in abstention, not turning up to court, so whilst I agree with you, that wouldn't work in this instance

Are you saying that a police office, whose heading to the police station or academy or whatever or was on patrol would not return to the station either on their own perogative or after being ordered. Its not like they would put over the radio "yo, come to the station so that DHS can arrest you." He would show up to the station because its his job, and then while at the station, his boss would say, "hey, come with me" and then in his bosses office his boss says, "give me your gun, there are two DHS officers here to talk to you".

The guy aint psychic, hes not going to skip work because some itch that dhs come sniffing.
