One week ago, some neighbors and a construction crew spotted a young man breaking into cars near Joy and Birwood early in the morning. They say he was stealing the batteries and cutting cables.

It’s Detroit. He must have been tied to the tree for a long time before police showed up.
Oh look. A squirrel...
Nothing said about how ‘quick’ the officers came but the thought arises, if the police are properly informed but fail to timely show, at what point does something like this become unlawful detention? Just a thought.
Leave him there for a couple of days while they notify the victims.
He needs another belt for his pants.
I would make the case that anyone living in Detroit right now is the victim of unlawful detention.
Boy he’s got a serious problem, his pants are falling down and he can’t pull them up!
And do him the ultimate indignity by pulling his pants up to a regular position.
In the video at the link, the reporter says the detainee was released by police because no victims came forward to accuse him.
At the end of the video report, it says the police released him because not one victim of the thefts would press charges. The reporter then muses that maybe the perp would feel bad and get a job instead of robbing people. She was not joking.
Hey...he’s “black”...that’s racist!
In England the police would have arrested everyone involved for violating the thief’s rights and he would already have a solicitor starting up a case against everyone on the block.
Just wait until Da Justus Brothas get a load of that picture.
“cursed is he who is tied to a tree”
Having that happen to him at the hands of citizens might actually be more effective than jail.
If someone had just called police and done nothing, it would be little deterrent. This way he learns that the people may act.
too bad did not tie him by neck to a tall branch.......
I was thinking, “Didn’t anyone have jumper cables?”
