But Grosse Pointe Park police won’t divulge the lengths of the suspensions.
One Grosse Pointe Park officer has been removed from patrol duty after capturing humiliating videos of a man with disabilities.
Grosse Pointe Park officials also are taking preventive measures to avoid a similar scandal.
The videos are now the subject of an internal police investigation.
It’s unclear if McBride’s blood-alcohol level of .218% will change anything about the case.
Most of the videos are shot from squad cars while African American men are told to sing or dance.
The 54-year-old shooter told police he “accidentally” shot McBride, who is 5 foot 4, in the face with a shotgun because he thought she was an intruder.
Renisha McBride, 19, was in a car crash and seeking help when she knocked on the man’s door at 2:30 a.m. last week.
The case has stirred controversy because the victim, who is black, was shot while seeking help in a predominately white neighborhood.
