Before lawsuit, Detroit police sgt. given ‘last chance’ after racist rant, domestic abuse

A Detroit police sergeant now facing a $10 million wrongful arrest lawsuit was nearly fired in 2020 after the department concluded he assaulted his girlfriend and repeatedly called her the n-word.

[@mq9167]

61 citizen complaints, drunk driving, wrecking a police cruiser and leaving the scene to avoid drug and alcohol testing. Maybe the department and police union need to be sued for allowing a known drunk and abuser to remain on the police force and putting innocent citizens at risk.

[@darksaint0124]

Drunk and abuser are words that can be used to describe most cops. They are number 1 at domestic abuse.

@Makayah Milani And people don't know that most people who are arrested don't go to trial. Due to a lack of resources, knowledge of the law, or simply fear, take plea deals.

@@MesoCarib Prosecutor's don't have no other authority over the police unless the cop is being indicted. If citizens are complaining about the cops the cops are put under review and those complaints go to a arbitration judge who makes the call on if internal affairs should get involved. Prime example is Ahmaud Arbery case that prosecutor was colluding with the suspect's until the video was leaked and went to a judge who brought it to the grand jury. Now a prosecutor can let a cop off who's been indicated over a crime just like how Fannie the mammie Willis did for the cop that shot Rayshard Brooks and she'll never be forgiven for that but other than that a cop has to be indicted first because citizens complaints and a few mess up's aren't enough to get the job done.

Again the statue requires "knowing, or having reason to know or reason to believe." without audio to the accompanying video, Police investigators believed she was an accomplice, the woman argued she was a good samaritan. Judge Cusick made the final ruling.

[@slickdawg5976]

@athletico7707 Again ALL individuals who are convicted of crimes, at some point within their lives failed to have prior convictions or a criminal history. Lack of criminal history, age or employment status have no definitive bearing on predicting future behavior. Also I'm not certain where the assumption Ms. Wilson had nor prior conviction arises. You've suggested: "The police had no evidence that she had reason to believe the card was stolen." The publicly viewable facts displayed Ms Wilson in possession of stolen property. Ms. Wilson did physically pass the stolen property to another individual inside of the motor vehicle. The possession/transference is clearly distinguishable within the video. Ms. Wilsons actions within and outside the gas station indeed provides enough "probable cause" to conduct a lawful arrest under MCL 750.535. What a individual "believes" or assumes to be lawful/un-lawful has no bearing on a "probable cause" arrest. "Totality of Circumstances," is what's uncovered during the prosecuting investigation. As for the investigative portion of the incident, I'll reasonably assume you nor I have been made privy to any official documents, so I'll refrain from debating the the judges ruling. However, as the news report suggested DPD continues to contend Ms. Wilson arrest was lawful, and that she was an accomplice.

Agreed that there’s no excuse for his continued violations or the department continuing to employ him. But… there’s also no excuse for the judge and prosecutor that excused a domestic violence in exchange for a property damage. It’s so goddamn rare that these lunatic corrupt bad cops ever get charged, that it’s a huge slap in the face when they get offered these ridiculously lenient plea deal agreements. Face it, he’s a cop! The person entrusted to uphold the law, also a person most aware of the law, so it’s a blatant act when they break law, policy, or violate rights. There should never be ‘minimum sentences’ for any police officers conviction, mandatory max for all cops convicted of a crime. And if judges and prosecutors keep offering these ‘deals’, that should always be posted on the news. Let the taxpayers see the outrageous BIAS being shown by these judges and prosecutors.

Doctors also convince the public that there are no guarantees in treatment which shields them from responsibility. The majority of their errors are unreported, and they don't self report. During the height of the covid pandemic thousands of people of color died quickly, and the racism of doctors and healthcare was widely discussed, even though poc had been saying it for years.
