Detroit police officer Deon Nunlee, 40, was charged on three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of assault with intent to penetrate, and one count of misconduct while on duty after he allegedly raped a woman who called 911 saying her boyfriend had assaulted her. At the home, Nunlee took the woman upstairs while his partner stayed downstairs with the boyfriend. He denied the charge but was arrested when a positive DNA test came back from a rape kit; he has been put on desk duty, but not fired, because innocent until proven guilty etc. Nunlee is the third Detroit cop charged this month with misconduct, though he definitely wins the grossly dubious prize."
Im troubled, said Detroit Police Chief James Craig. "This is not what our police officers do." (except sometimes)"

(6,793 posts)one might think he would be suspended with no pay until the case goes to court. Especially with the DNA match.
As an officer of the law he is supposed to represent the higher standard of a peaceful and lawful society not abuse his position as a power to target HIS victims.

Remember, they aren't all bad. Except the ones that are bad. . .and the ones that know the bad ones are bad but say nothing out of fear, intimidation, threats of blacklisting and the blue code of silence that dictates that they are all on the same team.
Chief Chuzzlewit is proof that the Peter Principle is alive and well in law enforcement.
