LEOs who view things in black and white i.e. LEOs are the good guys and everyone else with a weapon is either a potential or actual threat, you make it easy for them when you run around with an AK since an LEO with an AK is going to be a really rare deal. Yes, there is anecdotal evidence of LEOs with self-purchased AK patrol rifles but I doubt they are even 1 in a 1000.
With all that said, if the guy was on his own property this should be a non-issue. But, as has been proven over the last decade or so, it's not yours if the federal government wants to be there. They'll make up a reason and it'll stand up in court because federal judges aren't going to put LEOs behind bars outside of extreme circumstances.

So you think this wouldn't have happened, if he had been carrying a mini14 or a ar15?
Anywhere on the border it's common to see farmers and ranchers with a unique assortment of firearms... And they are almost always armed with something larger than a pistol on their hip. So the fact he "had an ak" is irrelevant... The fact he had any firearm made him the bad guy... On his own property
