Is ‘badge’ some sort of gang-slang? Where were the polling officials? I bet that 911 call tape disappears...

The poll watcher should have stayed.

A simple “So what? You have no authority here, and I’m calling the police to report a man with a weapon in a polling place... before I sue your ass for assault.” would have caused the idiot in question to shut his mouth.

It’s another black-run sewer. What else would you expect?

Doesn’t matter - MI will go to Obama and black turnout is even higher in 2008.

I saw a photo of an election judge wearing an Obama cap.

lol.

We are going to see 100% turnout in the major cities where nobody showed up to vote. Just an inkling.

Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak issued a statement concerning the issue the following statement: ... I am calling on Mark Brewer, Democratic Party Chairman, to condemn these threats of violence and pledge to ensuring all election workers, volunteers and citizens remain safe.

Mark Brewer condemn "threats of violence?" Fat chance of that one ever happening.

Liberals are tolerant people . They tolerate everything unless you disagree with them and then they try to kill you.

Why would anyone really be surprised.

The cops are not on our side. They are union. They are in the pocket of the Democrats, of course.

Not to worry. When Romney wins they will burn Detroit down.

Rather than allow the situation to escalate, the poll watcher left before the voter produced a badge or brandished a gun.

That was his mistake. He should have stood his ground. If he was a poll watcher then he had a right to be there and should have stayed and made his 911 call from right there.

Why are these poll watchers abandoning their posts when someone looks at them crossways???

Union Corporatists.

[Hot Tabasco]

the Detroit Police refused to respond to the call –

[opus86]

However, the voter said that wasn’t good enough and that he had “a badge and a gun” and told the poll watcher get out of the precinct.

My answer: So do I, and I'm not going anywhere.

It’s okay, it’s Detroit. Nothing is supposed to work.

My gun is in my car.....just in case. Surprisingly little trouble in Ann Arbor.
