Detroit Police Chief James Craig says that the Michigan city hasn't experienced dangerous riots like other cities because Detroit police don't retreat.
In a Tuesday interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Craig — a former officer with the Los Angeles Police Department — said that he "saw what it was like after Rodney King in Los Angeles."
"We don't retreat here in Detroit," he said. "We're just not gonna do it. ... You saw the images ... of streets where there was lawlessness, looting, burning. No sign of police officers. We weren't giving up ground to the radicals. We just didn't do it."
"[W]hen you talk about what's different here, we have a city that has stood together and, oh, by the way, I know there's a lot of conversation about the mayors in some of these big cities," he added. "Our mayor stands with this police chief, stands with this police department, [and] we are not going to tolerate this uptick in violence."
