The men and women of the Detroit Police Department believe the city is too dangerous to enter, and they want citizens to know it.

Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) Attorney Donato Iorio said officers are holding the “Enter At Your Own Risk” rally at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in front of Comerica Park to remind the public that the officers are 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 WWJ’s Kathryn Larson. “The DPOA believes that there is a war in Detroit, but there should be a war on crime, not a war on its officers.”

Detroit is and has been a dangerous city for some time, especially if you are white or out of towner. And, the unfortunate thing is, the police, although under manned are no longer the professionals you would expect, they are corrupt as the elected officials in Detroit.

So Detroit is like Mexico. Got it.

It has been some time since I have been to Detroit, but I know the poor state it is in. Very said. People are fleeing that city like it has a plague.

You can look at the manner in which Detroit has been run for one of your many culprits as to the cause of it's decline.

And they're still trying to account for that money too. Nobody seems to know what happened to it.
