Oh absolutely Detroit Police Chief James Craig!  When a group of neo-nazis threatens to show up with firearms at the Pride festivities to commit terrorist acts “worse than Charlottesville,” 100% the right thing to do is provide them with a free police escort to get them to the Pride event safely instead of warning the people they’re targeting. 

I’m completely certain that if any other group showed up at another event in Detroit with guns after threatening to commit violence worse than the act of domestic terrorism that killed one woman and injured 19 others in Charlottesville two years ago, you’d do the exact same thing.

What’s that, Chief Craig?  Did you actually say that “both sides” were wrong in this event?  And that the people trying to defend a Pride event from the armed gang of neo-nazis who had vowed to commit a terrorist act at the event were “looking to cause trouble?”

How is if that you even have a job with an attitude like this in a city that’s 83% the kind of people the nazis your officers escorted want to murder?

I guess when it’s the same police department with officers moonlighting as drug mules; officers fighting each other in the streets; whose response time is slower than pizza delivery; whose SWAT team shoots & kills a seven-year-old girl napping on the couch in her living room, then this is the kind of quality policing you’re accustomed to.
