Detroit Protestors Make 11 Demands. None Will Shock You.

Unsurprisingly, the protestors have now proffered a list of demands to the City of Detroit, many of which have little to do with BLM and more with the overall leftist agenda.

The Detroit Free Press: Protesters pose 11 demands of city as rift erupts before Tuesday march

The demands are mostly vague, ethereal, and a cornucopia of leftist cant:

►Defund and demilitarize the police; - the cause du jour that really hasn't been thought through at all. Defund apparently doesn't mean what the word means but some other ethereal feel-good solution. Its apparently shorthand for letting criminals run free.

►End Project Greenlight, a public-private community partnership that uses real-time camera surveillance throughout the city, and facial recognition software to identify suspects; - Get rid of a solid means to catch criminals doing robberies and assaults because that's a crowd-pleaser among those committing said robberies and assaults and their supporters. Again making ti harder to catch criminals in the act does nothign for the citizenry and protects the criminal class in Detroit.
►Drop all charges and citations against protestors; - Red rioters for protestors. Yep we ought to just call this movement Black Criminals Matter at this stage. If they cave to this demand, the rule of law in Detroit is over.
►Do not carry out eviction orders; -Because who wouldn't want to live rent free without paying the rent, right?
►Drop citations received by Detroiters during the stay-at-home order; - Again, its amnesty for the criminal class in Detroit. Because partying at the gas station in defiance of the stay at home order is ok if you're from Detroit, neh? What happened to Black Lives Matter and preventing the spread of the disease killing Black folks disproportionately?
►End “consensual” sex between police officers and those under custody; - Ok, this one I fully support and that one should be the case already, really.
►Prosecute and fire any police officer involved in police brutality; - Sounds nice but lacking specifics and knowing Detroiters, police brutality means any force used when a Detroit is resisting arrest at all, so that's gonna be a pass.
►Do not criminalize homelessness; - It's another lovely idea lacking any specifics, and homelessness right now is not criminalized in any case. Likely it means allowing vagrants to take over the city, aggressively panhandle, crap in the streets a la San Francisco, and harass people unhindered by the police.
►Make Detroit a sanctuary city, a municipal jurisdiction that limits cooperation with the national government’s effort to enforce immigration law; - Detroit already is a sanctuary city in all but name, with the current exception that when illegal criminals are arrested when committing a crime, the Police will may ICE, and one would think getting rid of illegal criminals would be a good thing, but not to these folks.
►Create an independent office for disabled citizens, - What this has to do with BLM is anyone's guess, probably someone's favorite interest got a vote, just creating an other bureaucracy to staff with favored people here.
►Restore and maintain running water for all Detroiters. - Yay, free water paid for by others.

I'm a tad surprised they didn't demand a free pony as well. After all, who doesn't love a free pony?

In short it's the standard leftist wish-list of a multitude of desires and foremost the coddling and protecting criminals and the demanding of free stuff.

Meanwhile, the protesters are starting to squabble over who is leading the movement: Protester meets mayor, but others question legitimacy as leader - revolutions tend to eat their own.
