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."

I’m pleasantly surprised to hear this.
Great news, but remember.....
When you shoot someone from a protected ethnic group, the Police are not your friend.
Give them your photo ID, phone number, employer, and Social Security number.
Then - polite silence.
No matter what the Police want, no matter what they say to you, you have one response:
“I want to speak to my lawyer, please.”
I’ll bet violent crime starts to drop there.
Blacks in Detroit are shooting feral blacks and there's no racial component except in lib's minds. Lib's minds are closed to any truth. Detroit Police Chief James Craig (a black man) and the residents of Detroit (a black majority) know this; libs pretend otherwise.
I saw this police chief on one of the FOX shows speaking up about this
very forcefully he firmly believes citizens of Detroit NEED to protect
themselves! He IS black very well spoken and I was very impressed with
him! It is happening VERY SLOWLY but these communities ARE waking
up in Chicago, Detroit, and now NY over (charter schools)!!! This is NOT
going to happen overnight BUT it is happening!! The unemployment rate
in these communities is far greater than other areas and they are awakening, defending themselves is a start! Town halls are happening
and they are FINALLY raising their voices Obammie was supposed to be their savior NOT!!!
He IS black very well spoken and I was very impressed with him!
Perhaps a replacement for holder when the zero regime is finally over?
Its an important step toward self responsibility and the GOP needs to capitalize on it and encourage the people to stand on their own two feet.
Fortunately the GOP in Michigan is making inroads.
...and Social Security number.
********************************
That’s a big no-no! Citizens are not required to give their SSN to police.
The news media and liberals don’t like or want you hearing about this. It takes too much away from their anti-gun initiative. Personally, I think it is a good thing and needs to be adopted all over this country.
I would add that I have heard of advice to give the police some very, very brief description of what happened, along the lines of “This person was attacking me and I was afraid he might kill me” and nothing more.
BS You don't have to give them anything except "I want to talk to my lawyer."
You should watch this
Wrong. Watch the link in post 13 actual legal advice from a lawyer
Note that I didn’t say what you HAD to tell them, I just pointed out that it might be a good idea to state briefly what went down in very succinct terms with no embellishment, so that the police have some idea of the situation.
This was part of the advice given by a defense attorney on one of the series of personal defense tapes produced by Guns & Ammo that I have.
The experts (lawyers) just disagree here.
Did you watch the video in the link?
The video function on my computer does not work. What does it say?
Ironically, liberal, Democratic Detroit is now the 1# most gun friendly city in the country.
It says NEVER talk to the police and then gives multiple reasons to support this. You should find a computer with the video function working. (different browser?) The guy - a law professor - is quite good.
