The Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality is asking for the dismissal of a probationary Royal Oak police officer who stopped and questioned a black man, reportedly because a white woman said he looked at her suspiciously.

The police department said in a release last week that the new, probationary officer was to get remedial training and a supervisor who responded to the scene was disciplined after the Aug. 13 stop of Devin Myers outside the Inn Season Cafe.

A video of the incident was widely circulated on social media.

On Wednesday, a coalition spokesman said the group has written a letter to the mayor, the interim city manager, the police chief and the Oakland County Board of Commission members serving Royal Oak to call for the probationary officer's firing.

In its letter, the coalition also is asking for the police department to release information about the nature and frequency of additional police training/curriculum; documented incidents of police misconduct during the past 24 months, and a diversity profile of the department — a breakdown by race and ethnicity.

"The situation in which Mr. Myers found himself — an African American man accused of 'suspicious behavior' by a Caucasian woman as he merely attempted to have a meal at a local restaurant — is all too familiar," coalition spokesman Kenneth Reed said in a release, adding that for the officer to "even give credence to her alarmist call by demanding Myers' identification and holding him at all is worthy of his dismissal."

Reed continued: "He failed his probation, and all law enforcement departments must have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. If we allow such a culture to persist, we continue to feed the beast of systemic and institutional racism that has continuously fought against any kind of equal protection of citizens’ rights.”

Messages seeking comment were left with a police department spokesman.

Last week, police called the incident unfortunate and said the department "did not live up to our own standards."

Police Chief Corrigan O'Donohue apologized to Myers and said what should have been a "very short encounter" was extended when the initial officer involved insisted on getting Myers' identification, according to a police department release last week.

Myers told the Free Press that O'Donohue apologized to him personally during a meeting Thursday at the police station.

Reed told the Free Press he expects the group to also call for the supervisor's dismissal. He said the supervisor should have had enough experience to recognize the call "was frivolous."

The letter comes just days after Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said she is investigating the conduct of the officers involved in the stop. On Friday, Nessel said she has directed her Civil Rights Division to review what happened to Myers.

Police said the incident stemmed from a 911 call in which the caller said she was uncomfortable because a man was circling her vehicle, staring at her from across the street, and was possibly taking pictures of her and her son.

Myers, 20, of Southfield told the Free Press he was waiting for the woman to pull out of her parking space on Fourth Street because he wanted her spot. When she didn't move for awhile, he said, he found another spot elsewhere.

He was outside the restaurant when an officer pulled up and began questioning him. Myers was verbally detained for 19 minutes, police said.
