No discipline for GRPD officers who cuffed girl

Source: WOOD TV8

The Grand Rapids police officers who held an 11-year-old girl at gunpoint, handcuffed her and put in her the back of a cruiser as they searched for an attempted murder suspect will not be disciplined.

An internal investigation into the incident involving 11-year-old Honestie Hodges found the officers did not violate department policy, a late Wednesday afternoon release from the Grand Rapids Police Department said.

However, Chief David Rahinsky added that “in no way diminishes our commitment to identifying what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future.”

“Concrete steps are being taken to ensure equitable outcomes in our interactions with the community,” a statement from the chief continued.

Police protecting Police, or the gang protecting fellow gang members. They call it "professional courtesy". Any break or lie to protect another cop is a violation of the Constitution and their oath of office.
The gang includes all cops, prosecutors, judges and other members of the courts.

police work....fascists are ALL the same.....mean and openly hateful of all not like them. We just know this child must have been a threat to their little lives AmeriKKKa had a chance many times to get it's shit together, but the need for maintaining certain subculture's privilege and entitlement, AT ALL COST, across all political spectrum's and party's has ALWAYS been the guiding force of one subculture versus all other cultures and races in ameriKKKa.

Gonna get a lot worse.
