Michigan deputy was fired after he arrested a Black man who was going door-to-door collecting

signatures

The Calhoun County deputy who arrested a Black man for collecting signatures has been fired.

Authorities say two deputies were sent to a neighborhood in Springfield, Michigan on January 2 after receiving a call about a suspicious person possibly soliciting.

A 10-minute video recording shows La'Ron Marshall was going door-to-door collecting signatures to form a tenant organization when police arrested him.

This cop will move on and be picked up by some other dept. where he will resume his behavior. His certification needs to be revoked.
