Enter At Your Own Risk: Police Union Says ‘War-Like’ Detroit Is Unsafe For Visitors

October 5, 2012

DETROIT (WWJ) – The men and women of the Detroit Police Department believe the city is too dangerous to enter, and they want citizens to know it.

Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) Attorney Donato Iorio said officers are holding the “Enter At Your Own Risk” rally at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in front of Comerica Park to remind the public that the officers are overworked, understaffed, and at times, fearful for their lives.

“Detroit is America’s most violent city, its homicide rate is the highest in the country and yet the Detroit Police Department is grossly understaffed,” Iorio told WWJ’s Kathryn Larson. “The DPOA believes that there is a war in Detroit, but there should be a war on crime, not a war on its officers.”

Iorio says the once 2,000 strong force is shrinking rapidly; since the start of summer, hundreds of officers have left the department.

90% non-white. Hell on earth. I speak the truth but some people don't want to hear.

Detroit has gotten itself into a really bad rope a dope, they cannot afford to keep a stronger police force and all the while their tax base that could, is leaving.......btw, the situation is bad enough without introducing race.

Race is at the core of Detroits problems. Blacks want free shit and aren't a reliable tax base.
 
Anyone that can get free shit will take it, black, white, green or yellow.

If you had said dem. progressive urban policy was at fault, that I would say yes too.
