Should Investigations Be Independent Of The Police Department? Dan Gilbert Gets Richer & DCFC Goes Goalless

You are here: Home / News / Should Investigations Be Independent Of The Police Department? Dan Gilbert Gets Richer & DCFC Goes Goalless

Aug 24, 2020 by Sven Gustafson

Protests have continued to take place in Detroit, but early Sunday, things got ugly downtown. There, police in riot gear took an aggressive tack against marchers from Detroit Will Breathe who had shut down Woodward Avenue to traffic, shoving protesters and clubbing others who had their backs turned and were walking away. Tear gas and pepper spray were also used.

Police Chief James Craig said Monday there was no way he would allow what he called a “Seattle-type zone of lawlessness” in Detroit and defended the actions of officers. Still, others say the crackdown on peaceful protesters went way beyond the pale. State Sen. Stephanie Chang, a Detroit Democrat, joins us to discuss why she thinks an independent investigation is neeeded.
