[image-1]Cleveland chief of police Calvin Williams has suspended Cleveland police officer and police union president Steve Loomis for 6 days for “improper conduct.” The suspension, which Loomis says he will appeal, stems from an alleged altercation between Loomis and another officer, who shares a child with one of Loomis’ daughters, at the police union hall.
That incident happened back in October of 2015. Via Cleveland.com’s coverage:
An incident report obtained by Northeast Ohio Media Group says that a police unit and a supervisor were called about 2:15 a.m. Saturday to union headquarters on West 58th Street.
The record says an off-duty officer was assaulted, but doesn’t list the name of anyone involved in the altercation.
When confronted about the accusations, Loomis said in a text message that the altercation was “nothing physical, just a family issue with my granddaughter’s father.”
He did not respond to further questions.
Loomis told Fox 8, “This is an off duty family matter. Out of respect for my daughter and granddaughter I will have no comment regarding the incident between my granddaughters father and myself which led to this discipline. The appropriate appeals have been filed.”
Loomis is also under investigation for wearing his uniform to a Donald Trump rally when he was off duty.

He slandered the bereaved mother of Tamir Rice.
He assaulted a Cleveland cop.
Where’s the outrage?
Get rid of this raging animal.
Steve is a stand up guy. Stay out of his business
This asshat is an embarrassment to the police department and the City of Cleveland. I’m sick of seeing his face and hearing about his shenanigans. He needs to walk under a bus and forget to wake up.
Chuckles the Clown
Loomis is a horrible human being, who advocates for unindicted murderers. There are Mob bosses with better ethics.
He’s a pimple on the ass of this community.
At least now we know what it takes for a Cleveland cop to be punished for something.
Loomis assaulted a CDP officer?
So Blue on Blue crime is OK?
Most people would be beaten or killed, arrested, indicted, and convicted if they did that.
So the guy who is all the time telling us about all these members of society that want to bring harm to police has actually brought harm to a police officer?
The guy who accuses BLM of presenting a “False Narrative” actually beat up a cop?
And this is supposed to be acceptable conduct by a member of the Cleveland Community Police Commission?
No, I don’t thing our community includes assaulting a cop as part of community based policing – but apparently CPC Commissioner Loomis does.
Of course the unelected, unaccountable arbitrator will probably reverse all discipline and ensure Loomis is fully compensated.
That aspect of the police union contracts *must* be corrected during the current negotiations.
