Arkansas officer fired after telling group of black men they 'don't belong' in his city [View all]

An England police officer has been fired after a video was posted on Facebook of him telling a group of black men that they “don’t belong” in his city.

Although the video was posted on Tuesday, it was filmed on July 21 by Demarcus Branch in his hometown. He and his cousin Shannon Scribner were in town shooting a music video.

They told us the from the first moments they entered the small town of nearly 3,000 people that Officer Mike Moore was on their heels.

"With all the racial discrimination that's going on across the world, will I be another victim? Will I be a statistic?” Branch asked.
