Detroit Police Chief: Tlaib’s, Waters’ Remarks ‘Shameful’ for Non-White Communities that ‘Rely on’ Police
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig said that the “reckless and disgusting” comments by Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are “shameful” for “communities of color and other places who rely on us to do an effective job.” Craig said, “What I say is, in our majority African American community here in Detroit, the majority support the men and women who serve every single day, they support us. And I think I can honestly say that for a lot of the communities of color and other places who rely on us to do an effective job. Now, I’m not supporting bad policing, not at all. We should hold bad police officers accountable. But when you have people in seats of influencing, you notice, Liz, I didn’t say seats of leadership. Because I cannot attach leadership to individuals like Waters or Tlaib, that’s not leadership. Leadership is coming up with reasonable solutions, not knee-jerk reactions. And let’s face it, … [Read more...] about Detroit Police Chief: Tlaib’s, Waters’ Remarks ‘Shameful’ for Non-White Communities that ‘Rely on’ Police

ABC’s Hostin on Chauvin Verdict — ‘This Is What Justice Finally Looks Like for My Community’
ABC News legal analyst and co-host of “The View” Sunny Hostin had an emotional reaction to the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd during Tuesday’s live coverage of the verdict announcement. Hostin said, “I was in law school during my first year when the verdict on Rodney King came out. It was an acquittal for four officers who, on video stomped and man, beat a man 56 times with a baton. I believed my eyes then, so I believed my eyes this time with George Floyd. And even though I that fast verdicts always hint at an agreement, even though all of my training told that they likely convicted on at least the highest count or at least the lowest count, because of the history in this country, because it is so rare that police officers are convicted, because black men and black boys are killed by police with impunity in this country, and that is just the truth, at a rate five times more than their white counterparts, because I am … [Read more...] about ABC’s Hostin on Chauvin Verdict — ‘This Is What Justice Finally Looks Like for My Community’
