The clouds are parting now to a major story. We are following after the death of DAU Nte Wright. Many on the left are amplifying calls to defund the police and Michigan Congresswoman even went as far as to call for no more policing in the United States, but what impact will all of this anti cop rhetoric have on local communities here to weigh in is Detroit Police Chief James, Craig James? Thank you so much for being here. We really appreciate it. What impact does all of this rhetoric and cascading policies? What does it do to the police and community? I got to tell you PETE. Our profession is in a crisis right now, fortunately, here in Detroit, its still a strong support for the men and women who put their lives on the line, but when you hear these knee jerk baseless responses to different issues like we shouldnt engage in traffic enforcement and

Brooklyn Senatorrer Mayor when it starts to say: if we must make traffic stops with police officers, they should do it unarmed and then comments about traffic stops are routine. There is no routine traffic stop and so to make these statements, how do we hope to reduce violence in our communities? Violent crimes and traffic fatalities correspond to one another. So we just dont stop anybody. They can carry guns illegally, break the laws on the road endanger our public, its the most ridiculous thing, but yet this is another attempt to dismantle police departments, PETE youre right chief or in Minneapolis, for example. Theres talk of talking about counterfeiting, dont enforce counterfeiting because of what happened to George Floyd. How does it work that the logic is? Okay, here is what we do. Theres too many police interactions so lets just not enforce our laws.

How can that make sense to anybody? Well, you would think those who sit and influence- and you notice- I didnt, say leadership. You would think that they talk to tear constituents and talk to their constituents and what do they want? I know here in Detroit. The number one complaint in Detroit is not necessarily violent crime, its traffic enforcement theyre, sick and tired, especially since the pandemic, the increased number of Fatalit ies, these young people are engaging inside, shows and drag racing. They want that stopped, but individuals like Ra Shida Tallib, make these knee jerk comments and theyre not talking to the people who live in the city and its shameful, and what about the victims PETE? What about the victims, its foolish, its nonsense, and it is completely disconnected from the lives of real people and the men and women you lead,

who show so much courage every single day to do things that other people call routine, that anyone who knows it, anyone whose been there knows its anything, but that chief. Thank you so much for your clarity. Thank you, PETE Pete. We appreciate it.
