'Because He Didn't Answer You?': Off-Duty Michigan Police Officer Fired After Pulling Gun on Teen [View all]
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.
