Detroit Police Chief: Rep. Tlaib’s Tweets About Police Are ‘Reckless and Disgusting’

‘This is her putting attention to herself’

EXCERPT:

CRAIG: "Absolutely, they are reckless and disgusting. Particularly in this time that we're in a day, there has been an increased assault on new women served across this country as recent as just early this morning, unprovoked individual came into a crime scene and began shooting at our officers and so while we can’t defensively say those comments are the reason, but the anti-police rhetoric is just too much. Even we think about Representative waters. When she makes statements, get more confrontational. What does that moon? But as it relates directly to Rashida Tlaib this is her putting attention to herself. That’s what it’s designed to do. It’s not productive. She doesn’t speak for the majority of Detroiters. The majority of Detroiters support this police department. They want effective and constitutional policing and to make statements like abolish policing, abolish incarceration, certainly is counterproductive."
