Michael Moore, an England, Arkansas police officer, has been let go from his position as a result of harassing two black men for simply shooting a music video. He said that they didn’t belong in their city, per KATV 7 Little Rock. England Police Chief Danna Powell said in a news conference on Wednesday that Moore was terminated. The incident took place on July 21
One of the young black men, Demarcus Bunch also added that his uncle is in the police force with Moore and he didn’t believe him. He was with his cousin Shannon Scribner at the time.
“I’m Del Scribner’s nephew,” said Brunch to Moore. “We’re down here just trying to record a video. We just noticed you’ve been following us around.”
Moore quickly replied with “You’re recording right now? You know why? You don’t belong in my city. But you understand. I know who my people are, right? Who belongs here and who doesn’t? We’ve got gang wars going on and all kinds of stuff. And I come from the big city. But this stuff is small, OK? So that’s cool. Do your thing.”
Bunch said that Moore started following him and his cousin as soon as they got into the town. Moore continued to follow them as they went to different locations to film the music video. Moore went as far as trying to send the dog in his car out on Bunch and his Scribner.
