Detroit Police Chief Gives Credit to Armed Citizens for Drop in Crime

[kwc57]

Someone alert Bloomberg, NYC and Chicago.........guns cut crime. Liberal heads exploding in 3.....2.......1......

"The incident was the latest in a string of homeowners opening fire to defend themselves, although after a flurry of such shootings early this year, before Monday there hadn’t been a reported incident since May 4 — an indication that criminals are thinking twice about breaking into people’s houses, Craig said.

Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. Craig attributed the drop to better police work and criminals being reluctant to prey on citizens who may be carrying guns.

“Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,” said Craig, who has repeatedly said he believes armed citizens deter crime. “I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed.

“I can’t say what specific percentage is caused by this, but there’s no question in my mind it has had an effect,” Craig said."

Conservatives like people that make smart decisions.

And no, conservatives don't like you.

So he is following Obama's and the Clinton's example?

We hate what liberals did to Detroit. There is a difference as evidenced by applying a conservative principle of second amendment gun ownership allowing people to defend themselves from criminals and actually drop the crime rate. Perhaps if they apply a few more principles, they can grow back to what they once were.

Yet you believe whole heartedly when Nancy Pelosi tells you we have to pass something to find out what's in it or that 5 white men are telling women what birth control they will allow them to use or when Harry Reid says that the border is secure. Makes me kind of not care about your discernment skills or lack thereof.

We hate the people that ruined it, we root for the people living there and defending themselves.

Detroit is a liberal mecca. Why do you hate your fella libs who are carrying guns to protect themselves and other citizens?

I thought Conservatives hated Detroit

Conservatives hate what corrupt, failed policies have done to Detroit since 1960. Liberals fully embrace those policies and want them expanded across the US. Detroit is at a Rock Bottom. It is time for change and hope.

Gang bangers have no reservations in shooting it out with each other and they know they are fully armed

IDK did anyone see the piece last night on the couple who got bum rushed by two guys in NY with a gun? They beat the husband savagely and one was about to rape the woman in the other room when the husband just started screaming bloody murder. He didn't know what was happening in the bed room but by her screams he could tell so he just started screaming no matter how badly they beat him. The guys stopped the rape and they ran out.

Today they asked them if they have a gun and they said absolutely yes. Had the wife had a gun in the bedroom the whole thing would have went down much different. By the way those two guys are still on the loose.

Detroit, even with all of its citizen gunners, still has 10x the murder rate of NYC, and 3x the murder rate of Chicago...
