KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A Kalamazoo pastor who has criticized police over their handling of protests has lost his seat on a community police review board.
The Rev. Nathan Dannison’s service won’t be extended when his term ends next week. Kalamazoo City Manager Jim Ritsema says members of the Citizens Public Safety Review and Appeal Board must be impartial.
Dannison obtained a permit in an attempt to prevent the far-right Proud Boys from holding a rally in a Kalamazoo park last month.
Violence occurred when the Proud Boys marched down Water Street. Dannison says his removal from the police board makes it appear there's no room for dissent.
