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.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If they are competent, they should be able to get a job in a lot of places.

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.

I wonder what the Police Union is going to say about it....
I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.

DeSantis may welcome them.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

DeSantis may welcome them.

He can find a new job almost anywhere. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

It's s strange time when law enforcement officers can be punished for assisting other law enforcement officers in the performance of their lawful duties.
