Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday that his city has already “sent a message” that it will not “tolerate looting and burning buildings” and that’s why it’s taking Black Lives Matter (BLM) to court.
Detroit is suing the activist group for “civil conspiracy” and “illegal acts.”
“We sent a message this summer. We weren’t going to have a lawless zone like they had in Seattle,” Craig told Fox Business Network’s “The Evening Edit.”
“We sent a message. We weren’t going to tolerate looting and burning buildings. We sent a message. We didn’t retreat in Detroit. Because we didn’t retreat and they couldn’t get traction with Detroiters, they’re angry. So create a false narrative,” he said.
