Well, I for one, am glad. Those policemen don't need to be so foul-mouthed...I mean, swearing at a ceremony! What's next, talking loudly in theaters??
What? You mean it was a swearing-IN ceremony?
Oh, well...nevermind!

It started as a swearing in ceremony to put badly needed cops back on Detroit streets, but it turned into a swearing out ceremony when Chief Ella Bully-Cummings decided to stop the event at the very last moment.
The 25 police academy students were ordered back to class after one of the students failed a pop quiz by Chief Bully-Cummings.
According to Richard Weaver, Detroit Police Officers Association, the chief asked one of the students for her assistant chief’s job description. When the student didn’t know, Weaver said the chief was "highly upset," had their badges stripped and sent all 25 back to school.

Aw, it's not like they needed more cops on the streets of Detroit anyway. < /s >
LOL.
I am glad I don't live there.
Kudos to the chief if this is about raising standards. In fact if it is, then maybe he should be put in charge of the school district where he can throw a few "pop quizzes" at the students just before graduation.

We think such ceremonies are sacred, and once you make it to that point you're home free.
The attitude should be your job is just beginning, not that your education is now ending.
Any pictures of her?
I'm imagining someone along the lines of Niecey Nash on Reno 911.
The one who's pretty quick with the pepper spray when being confronted.
Not he, she.
No pics. But I found a link.

One question pop quiz?
The question being the job description of an asst. chief?
You got to be joking.
How does knowing that relate to investigating crime, or providing the appearance of protection for the citizens of Detroit?
One question *I* have for the "Chief": "Using both hands, find your own ass."
Not that I've spent much time dealing with Assistant Chiefs or anything.
Do you know how many dots there are on a c-rat cracker?
I do.
This isn't the first time. She's just a pompous wretch.
Detroit Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings ordered an extra week of training for a group of new recruits Jan. 27. She said recruits were slow to salute her at their graduation at Cobo Hall.
Not to mention she appeared on TV ads supporting Kwame in the last mayoral election - a violation of state law.
The Assistant Chief's job is to hold the Bat Pattern in front of the search light while the Chief zeros in on a cloud or some other stationary suspended object!
Do I win anything?
:~)
That she disguises grandstanding as "high standards" merely lowers the value of high standards in her case. It's not about HER, or an appearance of quality, that people who truly appreciate high standards are concerned with.
EEgads! I see her on TV enough. (i live in Detroit Suburbia)
