Police commissioner Darious Morris accuses cops, unions of defamation

Darious Morris, an elected member of Detroit's Board of Police Commissioners, has filed a lawsuit claiming that police command officers and their unions orchestrated a harassment campaign against him through false misconduct allegations. The complaints accused Morris of intimidating officers, leaking confidential information, and interfering with investigations after he publicly criticized precinct officers on social media and called for a commander's firing. Two separate city oversight bodies—the Office of Inspector General and the Board of Ethics—investigated and dismissed all allegations against Morris for lack of evidence.
