Unlike many municipalities the Detroit Metropolitan Police Chief has been very proactive within the community supporting gun rights and citizens self-defense second amendment rights.
Last night, two more robbery suspects picked the wrong victim – and the police are righteously non-sympathetic toward the robbers:

“Criminals beware, if you’re going to play that game, people are defending themselves.” ~ Police Captain Darrin Szilagy

DETROIT – An attempted robbery went bad for two suspects as their intended victim shot them both.

Mosby is a very lucky State Attorney. Maryland state law prohibits cameras and recording devices in court rooms. Her ineptitude, and the weakness behind the false construct of her case, will be masked without sunlight. Unfortunately, we are going to have to rely on reporters and media accounts for details.

Update 6:00pm – SEPARATE TRIALS – A judge on Wednesday ordered that six Baltimore Police officers charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray be tried separately.
The ruling was one of three that Judge Barry Williams handed down during the first pre-trial motions hearing in the case. Williams earlier denied defense motions to dismiss charges against the officers and to recuse State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby’s office from the case.
Prosecutors sought to have the six officers tried in groups, while defense attorneys had argued their clients should be tried separately.  Williams said trying the officers together would not be “in the interest of justice.”  (link) (more…)

Prayers for his wife, four children and the entire family.

CHICAGO – The Fox Lake police officer shot and killed while chasing three suspects Tuesday morning was a 30-year veteran of the force who went by the nickname “G.I. Joe” and was married with four children, according to police and family.

Oh My !

Whoopsie, Ann Coulter is profoundly vindicated, Donald Trump has the pulse of the electorate, and Hillary Clinton’s “cattle-cars” talking point appears a little, well, out-of-touch with the majority of adult Americans.

(Via IBD) Immigration: When Donald Trump proposed mandatory deportation of illegal aliens, pundits and politicians on both sides of the political aisle were appalled. But on this issue it looks like Trump has the public on his side.
The fire from the right was almost as fierce as that from the left. “It’s not conservative and it’s not realistic and it does not embrace American values,” said Jeb Bush.
Sen. Lindsey Graham called it “absolute gibberish.”
Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer called the idea “crackpot” and “morally obscene.” (more…)

This shooting is going to capture a LOT of attention.

MILFORD, N.H.  – Sen. Ted Cruz today blamed President Obama for the ambush murder of a sheriff’s deputy in Houston, asserting that the president’s vilification of police has created a dangerous climate.
“Cops across this country are feeling the assault,” Cruz told reporters after a town hall meeting in Milford, N.H. “They’re feeling the assault from the president, from the top on down, as we see — whether it’s in Ferguson or Baltimore, the response from senior officials, the president or the attorney general, is to vilify law enforcement. That’s wrong. It’s fundamentally wrong. It’s endangering all of our safety and security.”
Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth was killed Friday while filling his patrol car at a gas station in Houston. Authorities said today he was shot 15 times in the ambush. A suspect, Shannon J. Miles, is being held without bond. (more…)

Horrible crime.  Sketchy details, combined with police asking for help, yet not releasing CCTV video, might mean sketchy story.
Update: Victim identified as 23-year-old Andre Johnson Jr (pictured right).
