Craig came under criticism last summer for the way police handled Black Lives Matter protests in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. Police made arrests and used tear gas in some instances, generating excessive force complaints.

In other words, he didn’t let the mobs burn and loot.

I’d support him if he ran as a DEMOCRAT. He seems to know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil...


Amen.

As an actual Detroiter, I believe Craig is a pro 2nd amendment democrat. And a law and order realist. I rarely vote for democrats of any stripe, but James Craig is an exceptional person. One of the few. One of us.

I wouldn’t presume that he’s running as a Republican. He’s probably just running as a moderate Democrat against the far left Whitler.

Too bad he’s retiring now; Detroit needs someone strong like him. I hope his successor is as good as he’s been!

“He is a good man. And did a great job for Detroit”

He sure did. After Floyd died while most big cities had riots he kept Detroit cool. I think he would be a great choice for governor.

Obviously he knows how to unite his community leaders so that Detroit
Citizens and Businesses were spared riots, burning and looting.
All law abiding citizens should be grateful to Craig.
