Detroit Will Breathe Goes Full Racist Potato

When Detroit's version of BLM has no examples of actual police racist misconduct, they have to make it up, and boy do they - by protesting the fact that Black people in the act of shooting police and pointing guns at police happen to get shot.

The Detroit News: Detroit Will Breathe wants Detroit's top cop fired over shootings

Oh they also are of the opinion that the police shouldn't chase Black shooting suspects, nor shoot such suspects when they point guns at police, either:

Members of the group Detroit Will Breathe on Tuesday criticized police officers who have shot three men this month, and said cops should have let a quadruple shooting suspect go free instead of chasing him at high speeds through residential neighborhoods.

No kidding, they're all for letting suspects of multiple murders get away.

One of the men is seen in the video with a pistol in his left hand. As he runs, he turns, raises the gun and appears to point it at an officer before the officer fires a single, fatal shot that hit the suspect in his torso, Craig said.

During Tuesday's press conference, Taylor said police should have never initiated the chase. He was asked whether police should have let a homicide suspect go free, and he replied: "Yes, I am saying that. There are other opportunities to apprehend them."

The group also doesn't like to take hard questions and reporters point out they have been lying about a police shooting by falsely claiming Hakim Littleton as shot while on the ground or had his hands up - and they turned their ire on the press:

Members of the group sparred with reporters, accusing them of phrasing questions to appease Craig and Mayor Mike Duggan. One member of the group said the journalists were "worthy of a spanking ... worthy of a whipping."

Burn, Loot, and Murder indeed.

And, of course, the race card was played, and played hard -

Activist Sandra Simmons said white people were to blame for problems in the African American community.

"Everywhere that a white man has been, he has caused hell," she said. "Every county that he has been in has caused trauma and drama all around the world."

Projection, much?

After castigating white people and throwing around the race card she then called for racial harmony - oh and for Black police officers to put their race ahead of justice and the law:

"Black, white, brown yellow, red — we need to walk together, because we’re all human beings, and when we all walk together, America will be greater than it ever was.”

She also had a message for minority police officers: "We are your family ... before you put on that blue uniform, you're Black."

You really can't make this stuff up.

Meanwhile, Detroit is experiencing killing after killing after killing of Black people by Black criminals.

But Detroit Will Breathe doesn't care about that.
