Detroit Police Chief James Craig slammed Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) this week after Markey called for disarming “every police department” of certain types of weapons and non-lethal munitions.“Portland police routinely attack peaceful protestors with brute force,” Markey tweeted. “We must disarm these officers, and every other police department in America, of weapons of war, and enact a nationwide ban on tear gas, rubber and plastic bullets, and bean bag rounds.”“Weapons of war” is term that is frequently used by the political left to describe semi-automatic firearms.

When leftist Democrats like Markey make such ridiculous comments as “the police should be disarmed”, they are only giving sustenance to the radical leftist rioters across the country. That is not a good thing as who would be an effective “disarmed” police officer in the inner cities where criminals and violent gangs are heavily armed?

One more part of the concerted effort to sow chaos and thereby force Trump's hand and make him act like they want him to act, to sucker him into the Big Gotcha. Waay to savvy for that.

I guess Markey really doesn't get it. We as a society are at war right now. At war with the violent thugs who would destroy out nation from the inside out. At war with a democrat party who would railroad innocent men to achieve their objectives. We need more like this Detroit police chief. He knows what we are facing, for he faces it every day.
Something else too. Remember back in the 80's and 90's how the black community was calling for more blacks in leadership positions like Police Chief? Well do they understand that 20 chiefs so far have either resigned or been fired during this crisis because they won't just stand by and watch this unfold? Most of those PC's were minority/and or women by the way. So I guess we have another arena of hypocrisy uncovered thanks to the rioters.

Some one needs to demand that all of the politicians calling for the disarming/ banning of the police, give up their armed personal protection.

Markey is really looking to take away their 'less lethal' tools, which will guarantee that the ONLY possible force available to police officers will be arm wrestling and a gun. THAT is a recipe for more shootings where the blithely unonformed will say "well, they didn't need to shoot him for THAT!". There shouldn't be such a lack of less lethal options.
Police officers need their billy clubs back, and they need a much looser set of rules of engagement with batons. You can talk all day about the "horrors" of multiple officers hitting Rodney King with batons or billy clubs, but notice that Mr. King lived for many years until he managed to kill himself with drugs, alcohol and his heart problems......shades of Mr. Floyd.
Billy clubs (police batons, PR-24s, are what the police call them) ---- "clubs" not being politically correct any more, are an important first step in the escalation of force to get compliance from criminals. The great majority of criminals do not need to be shot, but a significant number DO need to have the threat of a club or perhaps even the actual application of that club to specific points which are trained to be struck. These points cause pain and temporary incapacitation, while avoiding serious injury. Bruises are far better than bullet holes in police work.
And he does suggest removing their patrol rifles, which are their final escalation of force level, and is needed more and more often these days.
But then again, consider the source. Markey is an idiot.

Markey has been in Congress since 1976. What is it with the dems who want these alzheimers candidates representing them? You can tell he is acting like someone with dementia, ala Joe Biden, when they come out with statements like that.

The only reason Detroit hasn't become Portland is because Chief Craig, with the backing of Mayor Duggan, has backed his cops and has the support of the law abiding citizens of Detroit. Poor people don't want their cities decimated by violence any more than middle class or wealthy people do and Chief Craig honors the good people in the city by standing his ground. This also has a ripple affect by preventing lawlessness from spilling over into the suburbs.
