Nationwide — Michael Henkel, a 61-year old man who worked as a Family Court supervisor in Philadelphia, has been fired from his job after being caught on camera causing a disturbance during a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest.
Henkel, who had worked for Philadelphia’s First Judicial District, reportedly went and took down the signs.
A 34-second video clip showed Henkel doing so while a woman was heard telling him that the signs are not his property.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Henkel “is no longer an employee,” said Family Court spokesperson Marty O’Rourke since he made multiple violations of the state court system’s Code of Conduct.
“The Court takes the incident very seriously and believes Mr. Henkel’s behavior as shown in the video is egregious and totally unacceptable for an employee of the Courts,” he said.
