The Jobbie Nooner is a place that you can only get to by boat, and people only go there to get sloshed. There's no reason to go there otherwise that I'm aware of.

I get it, but it's different. They're still tying up police resources, which sucks, but they're not preventing other people from enjoying or using a public resource.
"Urban youth" looking at you funny is also not preventing you from using what downtown Detroit has to offer. In Nolan's situation, his own biases are disallowing him from enjoying downtown. He only cites the non-violent human shield deal at Chene Park and some reported fights at River Days, which has happened in the past prior to Belle Isle policing.
