Attorney General Dana Nessel’s statement yesterday:
In response to a request for comment on the press release, Nessel’s office Thursday issued the following statement to The Ticker:
“Law enforcement officers – including those elected to serve their communities – take an oath to uphold the law. By statute, the Governor’s Executive Orders are law and law enforcement officers are duty-bound to enforce them. As with similar offenses, those law enforcement officers on the front lines have a reasonable amount of discretion when responding to complaints. We trust that discretion is being used wisely to protect the public health of the communities and state they serve.”
