cops will be cops even out of jurisdiction and off duty;
DeWitt, MI — Every time police in America attempt to take a step forward on race relations and rebuild trust, cops like DeWitt police officer Chad Vorce come out of the woodwork and set them two steps back. Dramatic video was released last year of Vorce stalking an innocent black teenager — for the sole fact that he was black in his neighborhood.
The incident unfolded in January of 2021 but video was only released in November. Vorce’s ridiculous use of force and racial profiling unfolded after he saw 19-year-old Alexander Hamilton driving in his neighborhood, delivering newspapers.
Now, more than a year after the incident — and after being reinstated to the force — Vorce has finally been charged.
According to the Michigan Attorney General’s office, they were asked to review the case in Jan. 2022. After thorough review, Vorce is charged with the following in Clinton County’s 65A District Court:
- assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault), a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison and/or $2,000;
- weapons – felony firearm, a felony punishable by two years consecutively with and preceding any term of imprisonment imposed for the felony or attempted felony conviction; and
- misconduct in office, a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and/or $10,000.
“Our assessment of this incident showed dangerous behavior exhibited by Mr. Vorce,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said. “Those who swear to protect and serve must do so responsibly. We will not hesitate to hold accountable those who violate that oath.”
The idea of a black teen in his neighborhood set Vorce on a string of events that would leave Vorce without a job and the teen nearly killed. Hamilton was in the neighborhood that morning because he was working. He was a newspaper delivery man and he had many customers in Vorce’s neighborhood..........read and watch more...
