A Detroit detective was demoted Monday after calling "Black Lives Matter" activists "terrorists" and "racists" in a viral Facebook post.

During a news conference, police chief James Craig said the detective, Nathan Weekley, who is white, had been "downgraded" to the rank of a regular officer while the department conducted an internal investigation.

"We have worked so hard, and continue to work, in making sure we have great relationship with everyone here in Detroit," Craig said, adding that such comments "have a tendency to undermine" those relationships.

How about "Blue Lives Matter"?

I think it is a disgrace that he was demoted.

Telling the truth gets you demoted on the Detroit PD.

He just should have called them racist.

Thanks for protecting our free speech because it doesn’t apply to you. :)

“...we have great relationship with everyone here in Detroit”

Except Whitey.

Only Axel Foley could get away with it.

The one and only time I hope his Union has the last word, big assumption they will stand up for him.

White people can’t tell the truth without consequences, that’s where we are today.

One more reason to stay the h away from Detroit. A once - great city now largely a dangerous jungle. And it’s no wonder with a “police chief” like that...what a shame for the many residents and visitors who would like to be able to rely on the police to “protect and serve” them

If there was no truth in the comment, it would not matter.

One more reason to equip yourself for self, family, and community defense - just in case anyone here hasnt yet.

>>”We have worked so hard, and continue to work, in making sure we have great relationship with everyone here in Detroit,”

We have learned to kowtow to any and all demands by any Negro group we encounter.”

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.

I’m actually shocked that they have a whitey on the force at all? Token?

Chief don’t want these clowns protesting out in front of his station. He saw what they did to Tom Jackson.

Yet a national felons league (nfl) player can post a picture of a police officer having his throat slashed and no one blinks an eye.

There are hundreds of departments elsewhere who will hire him. Starting with Texas.
