Detroit police too busy to arrest man in killings
Washington Times ^

DETROIT — A man suspected of fatally shooting two men and seriously wounding two others had to turn himself in twice before Detroit police would arrest him, authorities said. Detroit police said the 36-year-old man got into an argument at a party on Saturday, retrieved a gun and opened fire. Four people were shot, and two died. The man turned himself in at a fire station about two hours later, and fire officials called police, but no officers turned up. Police said in a statement that “due to area patrol units being busy handling high priority runs, no units were dispatched to the location.” The man eventually went to a police station, where he was arrested. Police Chief Ralph Godbee said he has ordered an investigation into why no patrol car was sent to the fire station.

He should have just gone to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts. Six Detroit cops could have been there within minutes.

It’s a gun free zone of course.

In the bigger picture just another liberal wasteland. Cops are not only viewed as the enemy by the thugs but by the politicians AS WELL.

Detroit is anything but a gun free zone. In fact its the justified homicide capitol of the nation because the people are fighting back.

I give Detroit a lot better chances than most FReepers do because it is an open carry city and the folks are shooting back. The thugs are primarily feeding on each other because its too dangerous to screw with strangers.

Well it is on the taxpayer’s dime, so I guarantee you that Biden doesn’t drink cheap liquor.
