The Detroit police Chief broke the rules of the current narrative.  He was supposed to say the twelve people shot were attacked by flags, it’s the flags’ fault, it has to be the flags….  The professional activists are very angry at the police chief now.

DETROIT, MI — Detroit Police Chief James Craig agitated activists by calling those involved in shooting a dozen people Saturday, one who died, “urban terrorists.”

“We want to make it very much known that the young people who are causing the violence in our community are not terrorists,” said the Rev. Charles Williams, president of the Detroit National Action Network, a civil rights group founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton. “They are not urban terrorists, they are the products of bad urban policy.

“They are products of bad education policy, where our young people are used as products, versus being educated. They are products of the fact that you are dealing with a city with high poverty numbers, so to relate these young people as terrorists is wrong.”

The Detroit police chief addressed media from the basketball court where upwards of 400 people gathered Saturday for a community party and cookout before gunshots rang out.

Pools of dried blood were visible along the perimeter of the basketball court. “Rude Boyz,” someone wrote with spray paint on one of the basketball backboards. “Dexter” said the other.

Despite the large number of witnesses, Detroit police say most of the community hasn’t been cooperative, and the suspects are still at large.

“You will allow this to continue if you do nothing,” Craig said Sunday, urging neighbors to speak up and help police. “It must stop now.”

Williams says these young people aren’t killing out of ideological fervor, it’s because they have “no other options” and don’t know any better. (read more)
