The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners is set to vote Thursday on Chief Todd Bettison's request to suspend two officers without pay for violating department policy.
One officer called Border Patrol for translation services, while the other contacted the agency because they believed a person was undocumented.
Bettison said last week that he intends to fire the officers.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) is expected to decide Thursday on the chief's request to suspend two officers without pay for contacting Border Patrol.
 
 
Chief Todd Bettison suspended the officers with pay after determining that they violated department policy by contacting the immigration enforcement agency. The board must vote on an unpaid suspension.

Bettison said last week that he is also seeking to terminate the officers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
