This is a veiled attempt, I think, at dismantling policing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Craig was interviewed by Newsmax\u2019s Rachel Rollar, who spoke of the Department of Justice\u2019s sudden investigations into police departments across the country, notably Minneapolis and Louisville, and asked Craig, \u201cWhat changes do you expect to be made?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, let me just say this,\u201d Craig responded. \u201cMy experience is vast; I served in the LAPD when we were under federal oversight; I served as the chief in both Portland, Maine, and Cincinnati, and Cincinnati had been under federal oversight. And then when I got rehired here as the chief in Detroit, we were in roughly a 12 to 13-year consent judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, two things: I think for the new chief coming in, and if DOJ finds there is a pattern and practice of excessive force, those issues can certainly be addressed under federal oversight,\u201d he continued. \u201cHowever: a word of caution: how it\u2019s managed is key. When I look at Oakland, California, which has right now the longest-running federal oversight consent judgment\u2014 absolute failure. They\u2019ve had chief after chief come in and out; they have a monitor there who, ironically, was the same monitor in Detroit when I arrived there. I told that monitor, I said, \u2018It will be my goal to put you out of business here in the city of Detroit.\u2019 \u00a0He is still in Oakland; they have not succeeded, and so that\u2019s a problem. So, how the federal oversight is managed is key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rollar then segued to the George Floyd bill, asking if it would be passed as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I\u2019ve got to tell you where I have a real problem: the whole issue of qualified immunity,\u201d Craig answered. \u201cThat is a deal-breaker. (GOP South Carolina Senator) Tim Scott, what he put on the table was appropriate; it was a balancing act. We know how important it is that police officers who engage in criminal misconduct should be held accountable. That would be the exemption. But when you talk about civil lawsuits, this will decimate policing as we know it. This is a veiled attempt, I think, at dismantling policing because here\u2019s what I know, all the way from my seat down: who\u2019s going to want to serve in law enforcement when there\u2019s no protection. I\u2019ve talked to my colleagues in other cities; look at what\u2019s happening in New York right now; retirements and resignation rates have skyrocketed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this vocal minority is not speaking for people who live in vulnerable communities,\u201d he commented. \u201cThat\u2019s what the problem is today with everything that\u2019s going on; they\u2019re voiceless. \u00a0These folks want good, effective, constitutional policing. The vast majority of the men and women who serve each and every day do it right, and the profession shouldn\u2019t be painted with a broad brush.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, \u201cBut if they remove qualified immunity, there\u2019s going to be a mass exodus and policing will look like it looks now. They\u2019re already trying to take traffic stops away. Knee-jerk reactions. So, \u2018let\u2019s not stop anybody anymore.\u2019 The mayor of Brooklyn Center said, \u2018Well, if they must stop someone let\u2019s use police officers that are not armed.\u2019 There\u2019s no such thing as a \u2018routine traffic stop.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.0178571428571\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Detroit&#8217;s Police Chief reacts to what he&#8217;s seeing happen to law enforcement departments across the country: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XtIrKtj7G7\">https:\/\/t.co\/XtIrKtj7G7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Newsmax (@newsmax) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/newsmax\/status\/1387411287785738241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
