Internal affairs has new meaning in Detroit

McCrabby moved away from Detroit last November.  Now, two hours away from this fascinating city, McCrabby can't help but keep up with the unbelievable events that continue to define Detroit's political and public service climates.  

A few weeks ago, this blog posted a story that discussed the election of a judge in a nearby Detroit suburb, where the citizens seemed intent on electing a judge who had been suspended from the bench last year for JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT.  You can read that column here (Politics - Are we really this stupid).  

Then, there was the post we made about outlawing lawyers, where a variety of cases seemed to be lacking in common sense (the law, huh?  go figure), which you can read here (Should we Outlaw Lawyers).

And now, let's kick off this weekend with  a warm welcome to the Detroit police department to join the lunacy.  

Detroit's current chief of police, who is currently involved in a divorce (no surprise here), has been suspended for having an affair with a subordinate in his department.  While that seems tawdry, let's go back a bit because, like everything in Detroit, there is more -- this police chief was appointed to replace a police chief who was fired for (wait for it...) having an affair with a subordinate.
Who's running this show??

And, the current chief isn't on his first known affair.  His first uncovered affair with a subordinate was discovered while he was being vetted as a replacement to the disgraced previous chief.  And, he apparently was fooling around with the same female officer that the previous chief lost his job over.  Really??  Now, that woman is an officer that can't have time to write a lot of tickets.

He must have promised not to do that again - otherwise the current Detroit mayor, who replaced the past Detroit mayor when he was sentenced to a prison term, would never have hired him.  This is Detroit's fourth police chief in the past four years.  

Now, our beloved chief (and he seems to be loved often) is having an affair with an officer from (wait for it, again.. this is just too good) INTERNAL AFFAIRS..  Apparently the Detroit Police Department takes that term literally.

And, how did this latest indiscretion get discovered?  While at a conference on the west coast, the Chief was shacking up with yet another woman, and the officer in Internal Affairs (McCrabby loves saying that) got jealous.  Really??   How was the conference, Chief?

When do these people have time to work??  Oh my God!!  It must be difficult to chase criminals when your pants are around your ankles.
