Letter to editor - reporters....PO BRIAN HUFF..
Monday's shooting sounds suspicious, he said, contending that it's unusual that a supposed drug dealer would open fire on officers rather than surrender and face a prison stint.
expressed concern that the killing of the officer would ramp up tensions between police and the community....ron scott - detroit free press and detroit news 5/4/10.
Why????? were ignorant, divisive, stupid, inflammatory, wrong comments put in news articles about the killing of a Detroit police officer and the wounding of four officers, by Ron Scott, whose racist comments should have been excluded and ignored - in these articles.
Scott cited statistics that may or not be wrong, but certainly don't tell accurately the story -but were inappropriate ....his statements, which could have been mouthed by a spokesman for the Hutaree...or any hate organization that want to stir up anti police sentiments and fears.
Wake UP - Detroit - you need not fear Detroit Police Officers - fear the black / African-American murderers, rapist, robbers, b&e men, muggers, car thieves that are praying on you - your husband, wife, children, neighbors and friends. Black on Black crime should be your fear - and the police your ally, help them fight crime and criminals.
The Detroit Police Department has and has had a black police chief, with 73% black police officers, with a black mayor - a black city council - if you fear them - Detroit has no future.
Ron Scott - The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press owe PO Huff family and all Detroit Police Officers an apology - for a lapse of judgement - they won't face, criminal charges, civil lawsuits or departmental charges like Detroit Police Officers - do every day, if they lapse in judgement or make a mistake - so remember that - no police officer wants to brutalize a resident or make a mistake because the stakes for police officers are too serious, for them and their families.

Ron Scott, director of the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality, called for a full investigation and expressed concern that the killing of the officer would ramp up tensions between police and the community.
"We're calling for an informal meeting with people in the community, and hopefully the chief, so that we can reduce anxiety over this incident rather than increase it," Scott said.

Ron Scott, president of the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality, said the shooting could be the result of heightened animosity between residents and the police.
He said citizen complaints have jumped 208% this year, mostly stemming from Evans' Mobile Strike Force, which is comprised of units dispatched to crime hot spots to head off suspicious activity and confiscate illegal weapons. Scott said that some officers have unfairly profiled young, black men and used excessive force without probable cause.
Monday's shooting sounds suspicious, he said, contending that it's unusual that a supposed drug dealer would open fire on officers rather than surrender and face a prison stint.
Evans said Scott's comments were insensitive and ignorant. The chief said the suspect's rap sheet, which includes convictions on fleeing and eluding police and attempting to disarm an officer, indicate he has been aggressive toward police before.
"Welcome to the real world," Evans said of Scott. "In case he doesn't know, people don't like to go to prison."

ps. PC Evans responded appropriately...I hope he keep having our backs...
