DETROIT POLICE CHIEF JAMES BARREN - FREE PRESS STORY COMMENTS

Ron Scott has never been a been a police officer, so he doesn't know what we really do or the conditions we have had to endure - and had to deal with the police executives that failed Detroit residents and Detroit Police Officers.C He has a right to express his opinion - but 'livid' because the Mayor didnt consult him or his anti-police group about the selection of a new Police Chief - get real....he has been give excessive exposure by the media - I spoke out for years to improve the Detroit Police Department and appeared before Council to try and educate them about the needs of the Department and suffered the consequences via Department execs.. Detroiters deserve a first rate police department - I have and will continue to speak out until that happens - hopefully soon.
