One of the problems with racism and people like former England, Arkansas, police officer Michael Moore is that they are ignorant. Being ignorant usually means you just don’t know things. But the problem with police officers who are ignorant is that they have guns and powers given to them by the state.

On Wednesday, England Police Chief Danna Powell announced that Michael Moore had been fired after an internal investigation into a video that surfaced at the end of July. The video was shot by two men, both of whom had grown up in the Arkansas town. Shannon Scribner and Demarcus Bunch were shooting a music video. Bunch told reporters that they noticed then-officer Moore following them the moment they rode into town. Moore continued to follow them as they shot their music video at a couple of locations, so Bunch and Scribner decided to confront Moore to find out what the deal was.

Scribner: How you doing? Scrib Scribner.

Moore: I’m Mike Moore.

Scribner: I’m Del Scribner’s nephew. We’re down here just trying to record a video. We just noticed you’ve been following us around.

Moore: You’re recording right now? You know why? You don’t belong in my city.

Scribner: How? We from here.

Moore: But you understand. I know who my people are, right? Who belongs here and who doesn’t? We’ve got gang wars going on and all kinds of stuff. And I come from the big city. But this stuff is small, okay? So that’s cool. Do your thing.

Scribner: You say we don’t belong in your city though?

Moore: Can I say something?

Scribner: Yeah.

Moore: Okay … I have never seen you here before and I know almost everybody here.

Scribner: Man I grew up in 101. I graduated from England High.

Moore: Well good for you. My name is Mike Moore. Okay? I’m not from here.
