Michigan Deputy Fired For Arresting Black Man Collecting Signatures to Start Tenant’s Association
After a video clip showing a blatant violation of police power is turning heads.
In the video, a white police officer is seen arresting a Black man who was collecting signatures in his neighborhood in Michigan. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department later fired the police officer involved in the incident.
According to MLive, a white sheriff’s deputy has been terminated after he arrested a Black man, who lived in the neighborhood, for collecting signatures to start a tenants’ association.
As a neighbor filmed the encounter, the deputy had arrested La’Ron Marshall earlier this year on Jan. 2, as he was standing on a neighbor’s porch in the Springfield area of Michigan. Marshall was approached by the two deputies and had been told that they had received a call about a suspicious person going door-to-door soliciting.
As the video below reveals, Marshall stated he wasn’t soliciting anything, nor taking any money as the officers continued to harass and then arrest him in front of his child.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department released a statement pertaining to the firing of the deputy.
