The governor has made a decision on disciplinary action for the head of the Michigan State Police.
Governor Rick Snyder has ordered Michigan State Police Colonel Kriste Etue to give up five days of pay while she reports to work.
A few weeks ago the colonel shared a controversial Facebook post. It called NFL players who take a knee during the National Anthem "degenerates".
She took down the post and apologized.
In a statement the governor said he has – quote – “full faith in Colonel Etue’s leadership as the commander of the Michigan State Police.”
The governor also ordered every department in state government to ensure their policies promote diversity and inclusiveness.
