You are one of the best anchors we’ve seen. This recent unrest makes me sick. yes, I’m white and live in Grosse pointe with African American neighbors who are awesome their color means nothing to all neighbors. Why doesn’t anyone have the guts to face these filthy protesters especially those dealing with the harper woods prisoner death. They threw water on the mayor and his wife, will not take the time to listen. This was a pig heroin addict that was properly taken care of by the police but died anyway, had a loaded illegal gun, and her piece of garbage boyfriend fired 19 shots on the very street my children grew up in. That makes me sick and all these fake protesters did is pushed the equality issue back 20 years.can’t even spit out what I wish could happen to them. We love your fair reporting and warm smile and we need help from the media. all these people getting killed like its nothing, simply reported, and every one dwells on these fake protesters. really afraid people will be taking matters into there own hands.not good! please start praising cheif Craig, he is the best Detroit has ever had.
