The great Detroit Chief of Police Craig (happens to be a black man) has sternly put up lines of cops when BFM and Anftifa types started to threaten nice retail or business areas. Stopped it cold. When thugs surrounded an SUV with police inside an busted the back window to start grabbing them inside, they warned once and then drove ahead. A ditzy girl claimed they were “trying to kill her” when she failed to get out of the way quickly. Just brushed her. This time.
Chief Craig stated people should buy and learn to safely carry and use firearms. He said the Detroiters with guns now make the criminals think twice about whether their intended victims are secretly armed. Deters crime, he said.
So if crime gets out of control and prisoners are released or not held on bail when arrested, and police are reduced to meek historians of crime scenes as in other citites, Detroit will go back to being a trashy Third World Antifa city like Portland.
The mayor (Mike Duggan) backs the police chief. Both of them are democrats because you can not take office in Detroit as anything else but they both have some smarts.
