Detroit cop sucker punches drunk at Casino.....suelarity ensues

Do the City of Detroit a favor, if you are indeed a cop, quit. It's officers that think the way you are thinking that has us dealing with Consent Decrees and hundreds of millions in lawsuit settlements as it is. And then you'll complain about the lack of equipment that the department has due to financial woes. As it stands, that officers idiotic decision has already cost he and his partner disciplinary action. But let's look at what else it will probably cost. It will wind up being a six figure settlement, which is the cost of about two or three scout cars, four or five guns, ammunition for the guns, several vests, etc.

And yet you're argument is that it should be okay to treat a white guy unfairly in Detroit because they would treat a black guy unfairly in Livonia. The best weapon that a police officer has is his or her brain. Obviously, any officer that would pull a stunt like this in the most video surveilled place around, and then completely lie about it, is unarmed in that regard.

To Supersport I'd say the only difference between the white guy/Detroit, black guy/Livonia comparison is that instead of a statement from Mr. Mueller, we'd be watching a "Geoff Fieger Press Conference" had this been the latter.

It is clear that the troublemaker did raise his hand at the police. He should had kept walking. The policeman responded not knowing if that fist was a gesture or coming at him. The police was well in his right. Many people in Detroit complain about the violence in the city and the lack of police protection. Some of the same people complain when the police uses necessary force to handle troublemakers in the community. You can't have it both ways. This character had sexually assaulted a worker and was unruly. I am surprised that the worker didn't press charges against this person. A message has to be sent. DONT DISRESPECT THE BADGE.
