Community outraged over video of white Washtenaw Deputy& #39;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">https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/comm...
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.
That went about as well as you& #39;d expect.
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& #39;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.
The sovereign beliefs may explain the couple& #39;s resistance to allowing the cops to form a perimeter around an active shooting scene, but punching someone in the head a bunch of times is not a suitable response to obstruction.
