In a crime-ridden city dominated by progressives, one might not expect the police chief to advocate citizens protecting themselves. But that’s exactly what happened in Detroit on Thursday.

If you have spent time in Detroit, you would agree.

I had a liver transplant done at Henry Ford Hosp. in Detroit. Its one of the best for this procedure in America. They have their own armed police and will tell you not to go 2 blocks off hospital property without being in your car and leaving.

Original article in Detroit News
quote:
Detroit— If more citizens were armed, criminals would think twice about attacking them, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday
quote:
Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police director Robert Stevenson agreed.
“A lot of police officers have no problem at all with law-abiding citizens having guns,” Stevenson said.
quote:
According to a March 2013 anonymous poll of 15,000 officers by the law enforcement website policeone.com., almost 90 percent of the respondents believed casualties would be decreased if armed citizens were present during shooting incidents, while more than 80 percent supported arming teachers who were trained with firearms
quote:
“Coming from California (Craig was on the Los Angeles police force for 28 years), where it takes an act of Congress to get a concealed weapon permit, I got to Maine, where they give out lots of CCWs (carrying concealed weapon permits), and I had a stack of CCW permits I was denying; that was my orientation.
“I changed my orientation real quick. Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed.”

Sounds like the Detroit police chief is a crazy right wing nutjob. I bet he's in the tea party too.

He was anti gun.
Apparently, statistics and facts have finally made him realize gun control doesn't work.

Yep.

Sounds like he finally saw the light and had a come to Jesus moment.
Good for him finally understanding that gun control is a foolish notion and doesn't work at all. It only hurts law abiding citizens.
