James Del Rio

[EastsideAl]

Ah, yes. The "honorable" Del Rio of New Bethel Baptist Church fame. Rafael Viera shot and killed DPD Officer Czapski [[sp?) in front of the aforementioned church and Del Rio promptly released him, never to be seen again.

That's a pretty gross over-simplification of an incident in which Detroit Police without provocation raided and fired upon a meeting in a church, wounding 4 of the people inside. Also, it was Judge Crockett who set up court in a police station and released many of the over 100 people the DPD had detained - many without charge, and many of whom had been beaten. Not to support Jimmy Del Rio, because he was an ass, but Del Rio was a state senator at the time, and was the one who was called by Rev. Franklin and then apparently called Crockett.
