I think what that appointee said was thoughtless - but I can imagine the scenario. He's being "instructed" on the special Detroit protocol that administrators must follow: travel slowly around Detroit streets in a car with a flasher all night to be, basically, neighborhood watch volunteers. As this dawns on a guy he starts to see that things could get dicey for someone with no law enforcement training if, maybe, a situation goes bad. So, I guess, he made a barbed observation and the lady dragged it into her complaint about being demoted. I see a commenter on Deadline Detroit [[who sounds like an insider) said that she deserved demotion because "The city’s income tax system was labeled “catastrophic” in an Internal Revenue Service audit last year. To help fix this, Orr identified more than $83 million worth of improvements to IT systems over the next 10 years. Cheryl did NOTHING."
