Detroit Narcotic Cops

[Richard]

Listening to a radio call in show this morning, a guy [[who sounded white) called in to say he was in the city looking at investment property and stopped by a unmarked car, the bed of his pickup truck searched and his cell phone looked over by the plain clothes officers who had guns drawn on him. Another guy [[who sounded black) called in and said the four man unmarked cars pretty much operate any way they want to, if they stop you and search your vehicle or pockets and find any large sum of money they just take it and tell you to come to the station house with proof of how you received the money to get it back. I've heard stories along these lines before about heavy handed Detroit Police and while this doesn't seem happening to families going to Red Wings or Tiger games it does make you stop and think if you have business in any of Detroit's neighborhoods.

That is common across the country,if you are white and live and or invest in a neighborhood dominated by blacks [[fellow Americans)you will get stopped and questioned and profiled as to why you are there,it comes with the territory so to speak.

Mix that with the small percentage of blacks that believe when a white person moves into the hood they will fix up and improve the neighborhood which in turn will raise the rents so they try and create a hostile environment,it becomes an investment not for the weak,if it bothered the caller then that type of investment is not for him.

The people living in the neighborhood didn't bother him, the cops stopping him guns drawn, going through his truck and phone bothered him a hell of a lot. Would have bothered me just as much.
