Police chief suspended after his affair with fellow officer is exposed when she posts a picture with gun in her mouth

  • Ralph Godbee accused of placing ‘lover’ under surveillance after seeing Twitter photos of her with gun in her mouth
  • She claims Godbee, who is married but reported to have filed for divorce, is a ‘sex addict’
  • Second time in two years a Detroit police chief has been embroiled in a scandal
  • Godbee’s predecessor, Warren Evans, was fired in 2010 partly because of a relationship with a female officer

Detroit’s top law enforcement officer has been suspended amid allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a subordinate.

Chief Ralph Godbee’s affair with Angelica Robinson, an internal affairs officer, emerged after she posted a photo with her service weapon in her mouth on Twitter, after learning Godbee was at a police conference with another woman.

Godbee had other officers locate the 37-year-old and put her under surveillance after seeing her photo.

Her attorney, David Robinson has confirmed that there was a relationship between his client and Chief Godbee, who is married but filed for divorce in August, according to myFoxDetroit.com.

She now refers to herself as Godbee’s former lover, and claims he is a ‘sex addict,’ the news website reports.

‘There was a sexual relationship between my client and Godbee,’ Robinson told The Associated Press. ‘She was trying to end the relationship, and Godbee didn’t want to let it go.’

With regards the images his client posted on Twitter, Robinson added; ‘Obviously, it raised the implication of suicide.’

    The gun-in-her-mouth is ‘dog whistle’ for “I have no gag reflex…so bring it.”

    The photo was meant to be a turn on for the Reverend Godbee, mimicking his favorite sex act.

    “It’s a private relationship between two consenting adults.”

    Besides, it’s Romney who’s waging the “War on Women” not the People’s DemonRatic Republic of Detroit.

    She must be used to that position. Although I bet with a different ‘gun’ supplied by the chief.

    Chief Ralph Godbee’s affair with…an internal affairs officer…

    Maybe that’s what he thought IAD stood for? They sure as hell aren’t investigating any malfeasance in the department so they’re pretty much free to be upper management’s prostitutes.

    Who writes these scripts for the demmorhoids? Because you just can’t make this stuff up!

    Detroit, America’s playground! Filled to the brim with rusty swings, used condoms, dirty needles, broken glass and only visited by junkies and cops who seem to find different uses for their guns every day.
