As violent crime continues to explode in blue cities across the country, President Joe Biden is moving forward with his plan to address the issue through "gun violence" prevention and gun control.
"The President feels a lot, a great deal of the crime we're seeing is a result of gun violence. You can expect he'll speak to that and his commitment to continuing to address gun violence and gun safety in the country," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently said about Biden's gun control push.
But newly retired Detroit Police Chief James Craig argues the country has a criminal problem, not a gun problem and that demoralizing law enforcement has led to a crime wave.
"Conveniently, a lot of the issues are left out, and I've seen this, criminals are emboldened. You talk about bail reform, it's a miserable failure," Craig said during a recent interview with The Next Revolution. "We have to start supporting the men and women who do the tough job."
"It's ridiculous, it's surface and we're not going to the root," he continued. "We don't have a gun problem in America. What we have is a criminal problem...criminals don't follow the law. They're going to get guns, so what do we want to focus on? Getting guns from law abiding citizens?...it's not about guns, it's about criminals who have guns and they don't get the guns legally. That's the bottom line."

Obviously he’s a black White Supremacist.
“Former”. No active chief in a Democrat run city could say that and keep their job.
Finally someone states the OBVIOUS ! Watch all the stories on "defunding the police" and not once is there discussion about REDUCING CRIME !
Less crime means less interaction with Police. I feel silly for having to state the obvious......
Police Chief James Craig is perhaps the most intelligent PC in all of the ‘Rat Utopias.
That the Mayor and City Council keeps him on is pleasantly surprising.

[Oopps, it says he is retired. Detroit’s loss...]
Possibly their lives.
At the very least they wouldnt threaten to do harm to his family.
They still might.

Chief Craig is one hell of a man.
I live in Detroit.
Think he’s running for Governor of Michigan as a Republican.
Both Craig and David Alexander Clarke Jr. who served as Sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin I hold in the highest regard.
Great men.
He has in fact said that when he had the PC job. He has stepped down due to the fact that he is at least considering running for political office.

He almost but not quite goes there.
😂
He’s getting out of line.
The Party will have to tend to him next.
Can’t have any of this making sense and truth telling going on.
He did say it, and also was a proponent of citizens getting their concealed carry permits whenever possible. When liberal cities burned last summer Detroit stayed calm. He’s not perfect, but he was a damn sight better than a lot of big city chiefs currently serving.
CC
Resigned to run for Governor.
Too bad the Witch-in-charge can’t be burned at the stake.
Or run outta town on a rail.
Best of luck to him.
“When liberal cities burned last summer Detroit stayed calm.”
Here I thought it was because there was hardly anything left in Detroit to burn :)
After Whitmer, a rock could do a better job... 🤓
I think we need a new term.
Systemic criminality.
