A white sheriff’s deputy in Michigan was reprimanded after video showed him tell a Black woman who had just been struck in the face during an altercation that he was “blacker” than she was because he’s from Detroit. The woman, Tracy Douglas, filed a civil rights complaint with the FBI, according to her attorney. The altercation occurred Aug. 20 in a liquor store parking lot in Lambertville. The deputy’s name was not released. The sheriff’s office said his supervisors have since counseled and trained him. They say all deputies will receive training in implicit bias and cultural diversity.
