Detroit officer suspended, second faces discipline after filmed fleeing shooting

The Detroit News

Detroit — Interim Detroit Police Chief James White said Friday that one officer is suspended and a second will face discipline once off medical leave after the two were filmed fleeing a shooting.

In the June 30 incident, first reported by Deadline Detroit, a man was shot with a long gun, in view of the Detroit officers. The officers then allegedly fled instead of trying to stop and arrest the shooter.

FOX 2 spoke with a number of officers about what happened and it is not sitting well with them. The two officers in question are off the street. The men involved in that shooting are still at large.

Did the shooter not see the police cruiser right there? That's about as brazen as it can get.

It just reminded me of when the deputies of Reno 911 are always running away from crime scenes because they don't want to hassle with all the paperwork. Looks like it happens in real life, not just on sitcoms.
