Motor City meltdown, part 17: Police guild warns people to avoid Detroit

By Jack Brummet, Cities and Metroplex Editor




The men and women  of the Detroit Police Department now believe their city is flat out too dangerous to enter.  And they have begin letting the citizens know this.


Detroit Police Officer Association Attorney Donato announces a couple of weeks ago that the members of the Association would be holding an “Enter At Your Own Risk” rally at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, October 6th.  The police were gathering in front of Comerica Park to let the public know that their police force is "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 Kathryn Larson, a reporter, from WWJ, . “The DPOA believes that there is a war in Detroit, but there should be a war on crime, not a war on its officers.”

This flyer/handbill was passed out by Detroit police prior to the Oct. 6 rally.:
