With "fatal self-defense shootings on the rise in Detroit," law-abiding citizens know one thing--Detroit police have their back.
According to The Detroit News, "justified" self-defense shootings in Detroit are hovering around 10 since January 1st.
This is up considerably from 2013, in which "there were 15 justifiable [self-defense shootings] in the city" during the entire year.
And far from criticizing the fact that more and more homeowners are standing up for their lives and property, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said he views this rebirth of self-defense as proof that"more and more Detroiters are becoming empowered."

“Detroit police have their back”
Wonder how long that’s going to last.
I bet you see their crime rate drop significantly but you eill never hear it from the American MSM...
Until a white person has to put a cap in a feral yout’, and the national media comes down on him like a ton of bricks?
It's about time!!! The good people in Detroit need to take back the city from gangbangers and re-establish black neighborhoods worth living in...
Wonder how long thats going to last.

Me too. That is quite a sea change for a big blue city PD.
First of all, I doubt any Detroit police officer was anywhere near “standing” distance of the incident.
Second, I don’t think it’s so much “got their back”, and just lacks the resources and the will to step in and do anything about it.
The change in attitude between police and citizens has been pretty amazing. People are literally standing in the street applauding as police raid drug houses and drag scumbags away.
?..efit to add..
Until, a white person shoots a black thug.
Means the good people are taking back their neighborhoods. God willing we'll have a black Tea Party chapter in a few years... wouldn't that be wonderful... Any other insights into 'why now'? Or should we just be thankful and not question?
It has already happened.
American black nationalism was born in Detroit and its dying a slow death there and I think that’s making a big difference. It also helps that the GOP is stepping up and making a play for the city.
