Community outraged over video of white Washtenaw Deputy's use of force on black woman during arrest (Moorish sovereign citizen) https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/community-outraged-over-video-of-white-washtenaw-deputys-use-of-force-on-black-woman-during-arrest
I have confirmed the Moorish sovereign ties. Her husband tried to used sovereign citizen mumbo jumbo in federal court to get her released from a local prison late last year.
The couple has been trying to sue local police departments in federal court for the past several months.
Based on a very quick skim, these cases started as traffic violations (fake sovereign license plate and driver's license) and escalated quickly from there.
None of this makes it right for police to physically abuse someone. It just makes the underlying investigation a bit more complex.
