As former law enforcement professionals, we served on the front lines to keep our communities safe. Now, as members of the state House Criminal Justice Committee, we are speaking out against a dangerous set of bills being pushed by progressive Democrats in Lansing. Senate Bills 1091-1101 and House Bills 6112-6121 would cripple law enforcement, tie the hands of officers trying to protect the public and ultimately make Michigan communities less safe.
Mike Mueller, R-Linden, Bob Bezotte, R- Howell, and TC Clements, R- Temperance, are all members of the Michigan House of Representatives. With more than 60 years of combined law enforcement experience, the three of us have held the hands of hundreds of victims and families who have been hurt by crime. We have consoled mothers after informing them their sons or daughters were killed in a crash caused by a suspected drunk driver.
OPINION Bob Bezotte, guest writer Published 3:44 p.m. ET June 3, 2020 | Updated 3:14 p.m. ET June 4, 2020 Bob Bezotte (Photo: Courtesy photo) Having spent 33 years in law enforcement – 12 as a sheriff – I am outraged by the recent actions of the officers in Minneapolis in the George Floyd case. This horrific behavior is not part of the normal protocol or standard for law enforcement. Once the cuffs were placed on the arrested suspect, that should have been the end of the conflict.
