Detroit Police Department, Or Reno 911!?

DETROIT (WJBK) – An internal investigation has been launched at the Detroit Police Department after two different precincts got into a turf war as they converged on an east side neighborhood.
Neighbors who live on Andover on Detroit’s east side will be the first to tell you this area is known for constant drug activity.
“Definitely a drug problem in our neighbor for years,” said one resident, ” but I don’t think anyone can stop it.”
On Thursday Detroit police certainly tried — but maybe too hard.
Sources say it started when two special ops officers from the 12th Precinct were operating a “push off” on Andover near Seven Mile. That is when two undercover officers pretend to be dope dealers, waiting for eager customers to approach, and then arrest potential buyers and seize their vehicles.
But this time, instead of customers, special ops officers from the 11th Precinct showed up. Not realizing they were fellow officers, they ordered the other undercover officers to the ground.
FOX 2 is told the rest of the special ops team from the 12th Precinct showed up, and officers began raiding a house in the 19300 block of Andover. But instead of fighting crime, officers from both precincts began fighting with each other.
Sources say guns were drawn and punches were thrown while the homeowner stood and watched.
The department’s top cops were notified along with Internal Affairs. Each officer involved is now under investigation as the department tried to determine what went wrong.
“You’ve gotta have to have more communication, I guess,” said the resident. “I don’t understand what happened about that – communicate.”
FOX 2 is told one of the units had body camera video that detailed the entire incident. That is now part of the internal investigation and we are working to get our hands on it.
Other than wondering why the hell a police department has a so-called “special ops” team, the only thing that came to mind on this came from my oldest son Joshua when we texted about this.

-That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all week.
“You’ve gotta have to have more communication, I guess,” said the resident. “I don’t understand what happened about that – communicate.”
-Of course, this is spoken by one of the area’s talent pool from which these officers are drawn, so um, well, yeah.

You’d think these “special ops” cops would be easily recognized when they show up in their short buses.

The classic example of interDERPartmental communication was the two different police departments patrolling I-40 in Tennessee, each with a “drug interdiction” mandate, which in reality meant that they’d pull over any vehicle they thought might have money and they’d invoke the unconstitutional asset forfeiture laws to seize the money. In other words, highway robbery. There’s a great video of one agency’s vehicle pulling in front of another agency’s vehicle and the police arguing violently and profanely over which road pirate would seize the loot. I looked for the video but it seems to have disappeared, but there are plenty of other asset forfeiture abuse videos, including many on I-40 in Tennessee.

Allowing cops to pose as drug dealers to entrap others should be outlawed. Period.
The special op thugs all deserve some kind of punishment, at least everyone of their pictures published for being so fucking stupid. Keystone cops are more intelligent than these retards.

Great. As long as they’re setting up and fighting each other they’re not out there shooting dogs.
