Police officers greeted Detroit Tigers fans before their team’s win Saturday night with an urgent message: “Enter Detroit at Your Own Risk.”
The message, relayed in the form of a flier, was delivered by about 400 off-duty police officers before the Tigers won the first game of their division series against the A’s, My Fox Detroit reported.
 
As they poured into Comerica Park, fans were given the fliers reading: “Attention: Enter Detroit at Your Own Risk.”  It warned that Detroit is America’s most violent city and that the city’s police force is grossly understaffed.
 
"We're not discouraging people from coming, I love the city, I want them to realize we don't have enough man hours," police union president Joe Duncan told the station. "I don't think the city is going to get same officer 8 hours a day as you do for 12 hours a day."
According to My Fox Detroit, fans also were urged to vote yes on Proposal 2, which would guarantee collective bargaining rights.

That should be a standard handout at any large city run by the Dems.

The question is, are there any large cities that have a true conservative running them?  Since it is a known fact that liberals gravitate to large poopulation centers, it's hard to see how truly conservative politicians would stand a chance.  Maybe somewhere in Texas, or Idaho--but Idaho doesn't have a big city.

It looks like the only newsworthy thing here is that they finally got around to printing flyers. The downtown area of detroit has been a dangerous mess for decades, and the reduction in police force size probably doesn't make a difference. Chaos is chaos, regardless of how many cops are on duty. This does look like it could be a good resume builder for the cops that left. I'm sure they learned a lot on that duty.  The interesting question I ask is how the suburbs are faring now. Is crime spreading quickly to those areas? I used to work in detroit once in a while, and the northern suburbs were quite nice despite the city proper being a disaster area.
