Fans at Tuesday’s New York Rangers hockey game leapt to their feet to give a standing ovation to the New York Police Department Color Guard that unexpectedly came to present the state and national colors before the evening’s game.

The NYPD Color Guard marched out onto the ice as the national anthem played, thrilling fans.

Looks like Rangers fans are not part of Al Sharpton’s anti-cop protest set.
