The same reporter @cherylwt found that a @detroitpolice ofr was involved in 5 shootings. 3 were off duty + 2 on duty. Each time he was let off including one in 2017 when he fatally shot a 19 yr old Black teen in the back. She found out that the 1st person he called was his union. https://t.co/e7XatFYeqq
