Let me reiterate, “Welcome to Detroit.”
The “Motor City” has seen yet again another scandal in its Police Department. Looks like they will be moving on to its 5th Police Chief in the past 4 years. Ralph Godbee has resigned from his position as Detroit Police Chief after news of an affair with a subordinate. Angelica Robinson, an internal affairs officer, and Godbee had been in a relationship for a year before she tried ending it with the former Police Chief. He apparently was upset by the breakup and went to a conference in California with another woman. Oh yeah, he’s also married. Ms. Robinson must have been angry because she posted a picture of herself on Twitter with her weapon in her mouth threatening to end her life. Authorities tracked her cell phone and have had surveillance on her since. Mayor Dave Bing got wind of the incident and suspended Godbee for 30 days. He decided to overrule the Board of Police Commissioners and discipline Godbee on his own, since he appointed him to Police Chief just two years ago.
