FOX 2 spoke with a number of officers about what happened and it is not sitting well with them. The two officers in question are off the street. The men involved in that shooting are still at large.

A Detroit police officer is suspended with another on medical leave after apparently fleeing the scene of a shooting that unfolded right in front of them.

Sources say it happened near Schoolcraft and Greenfield back on June 30th. Video of the incident is courtesy Deadline Detroit.

"This incident is troubling and it is unfortunate and it's not consistent with our training," said DPD Interim Chief James White. "And it's not consistent with the expectations that are set by myself and my command team."

White addressed the officers' response - or lack thereof - during a press conference Friday.

The victim who be seen here in the blue shirt was struck but survived.

A sedan pulled up in front of him, a man in the back seat hung outside the window and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle. All of it was captured on police dashcam.

The officers drove off, but at some point turned back around to help the victim.

The gunman and driver got away.

1. They choked?

As a certain orange dumba$$ would say.

If and when good cops decide to stand their ground against the bad ones, they will face the reality their colleagues have helped create with their egregious behavior. Most of us recall a time not so long ago when most cops never drew a gun or taser their whole career. Then they started filming that COP show and too many became racist hit squads targeting the African American community for the most part. So which came first? The overly aggressive cop using his badge to hide his racism or the innocent but now hostile citizen using his mistrust of cops as a paper-thin shield?

Social workers should be hired to advocate for victims of police brutality as well as to mediate between the cops and the anxious public.

2. I think that policing might not be

Their forte.

3. If it was a marked car and then they pulled in front of the suspects

Before leaving the scene, I got to wonder if the cops weren't involved in some way. I mean the gunmen didn't see them?
