One of the police officer who was exposed in a video abusing and harassing black males has finally admitted his behavior and confessed to taking at least one demeaning video.
Last week, Motor City Muckraker posted the videos to their blog, which resulted in the officer being taken off duty and “expected to face discipline next week”.
According to The Huffington Post, the officer has made a confession saying that he did submit to demeaning behavior against the victim in the video.
The site reports:
“An officer has stepped forward to take responsibility for the video and for interacting with Mr. Scipio in that fashion. The officer has been removed from patrol duty pending the conclusion of our investigation,” Grosse Pointe Park spokesman Greg Bowens told the Detroit Free Press.
City officials declined to comment on the officer until the investigation is complete — especially while they ask the Motor City Muckraker blog or the public to come forward with any other videos that might exist.
And apparently Muckraker founder, Steve Neavling told The Huffington Post that he has almost a dozen similar videos, but he has elected not to share them at this time due to their “humiliating nature” however he emailed the Detroit Free Press a statement that he is arranging to deliver them to city officials.
We’re thankfully both parties are cooperating and taking action to solve issue of this poor, demeaning behavior.
