Pennsylvania Police Chief Gets Three Day Suspension After Yelling At Pregnant Black Woman
She said the backup officers who arrived were good officers who helped deescalate the situation.
“The police, the men that pulled up, they were good officers and they handed it in such a smooth way,” Stewart said.
Stewart expressed that suspending DeSimone was a good step, however, she said he needed to be let go.
Homestead Mayor Betty Esper defended DeSimone and disagreed with his suspension.
“Everybody has a different disposition,” she said. “He’s been here 20-some years. I mean come on, he’s never abused anybody.”
DeSimone insisted what happened that day has been blown out of proportion and said it was just a “little dispute.”
