DETROIT (Reuters) - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing on Tuesday suspended the city's police chief and ordered a full investigation after media reports that he had been dating a female internal affairs officer in the department.
Police Chief Ralph Godbee Junior is the latest Detroit city leader to face accusations of a sexual relationship with a subordinate after former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his immediate predecessor as chief, Warren Evans.
"After learning of the allegations regarding Chief Ralph Godbee, I have placed him on a 30-day suspension pending a full and thorough investigation of this matter," Bing said in a statement.
Assistant Chief Chester Logan assumed the duties and responsibilities of police chief in the interim, Bing said.
A police spokesman declined to comment on the suspension. Godbee could not be reached immediately for comment.
Court records show that Godbee filed for divorce in August and that a settlement conference has been scheduled for November 26.
ABC News in Detroit reported first on Tuesday that Godbee had been dating the internal affairs officer for about a year.
Godbee succeeded Evans in mid-2010 after Evans resigned in part due to fallout from an alleged affair with a subordinate, and one day after a local television station aired an excerpt from a video pitch he made for a possible reality TV show.
Kilpatrick, who is on trial now on public corruption charges, pleaded guilty in 2008 to obstruction of justice and resigned from office after prosecutors alleged he lied in a civil lawsuit to conceal an affair with his chief of staff.
The city of Detroit is in financial crisis and has made deep cuts in city services.

Answer by Browncoats Against Obama
To their defense, I did hear a few republicans say that if obama was elected they'd move to Canada. (I can't believe I'm defending them, even though most of them (not all!) would rather call you an idiot than look at you). But, that's just it, most of the posts I've seen from democrats (lately from ? in particular) have been highly insulting. They seem to think that our stand on things is either whining or ignorance, which of course, it's neither. I'm not going to say that a conservative is more educated than a liberal. The level of education seems pretty split. I just do tend to see more "why are republicans so" questions on here, and they're usually more insulting. And it's sad.

When a Republican is elected in 2012, maybe the Democrats can all move to Kenya and take their fallen leader with them. They could set up their own socialist country and let America be the land of the free and the home of the brave that it has always been.
Answer by Ocean
You are right. There is no better place to live than in the USA! I would never leave this country because Obama is president! I don't care for the man, but I will still stay here and hope for the best.
Answer by Where's my Obama check ?
Because they don't think with logic - they think emotionally.
