Who Brushed Off His Initial Questions While Delivering Newspapers

Video of an off-duty Michigan police officer pointing a gun at Alexander Hamilton, a Black man who was delivering newspapers earlier this year has recently emerged.

Chad Vorce, a white man, was fired in May from the DeWitt Police Department after pulling his gun out on a 19-year old man, who believed was a suspect in a string of break-ins. Vorce is now appealing his termination.

The incident occurred just shortly after 7 a.m. on Jan. 14 when the now-former police officer, who was off duty at the time, was taking his teenage son to school and saw a gray van in his neighborhood.

Vorce said he found the presence of the vehicle to be suspicious because of the recent break-ins in his area and thought the young man fit the description of the suspect. “I thought it was him because he fits the same description, black hoodie… Fricken black guy,” Vorce offered as his rationale.
