DETROIT (WWJ) – The men and women of the Detroit Police Department believe the city is too dangerous to enter, and they want citizens to know it.

Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) Attorney Donato Iorio said officers are holding the “Enter At Your Own Risk” rally at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in front of Comerica Park to remind the public that the officers are overworked, understaffed, and at times, fearful for their lives.

“Detroit is America’s most violent city, its homicide rate is the highest in the country and yet the Detroit Police Department is grossly understaffed,” Iorio told WWJ’s Kathryn Larson. “The DPOA believes that there is a war in Detroit, but there should be a war on crime, not a war on its officers.”

  1. Detroit = Dearborn = Dhimmi = Doomsday

    Motown is now ‘Mo Town’

    Stop this nonsense!

  2. Shoot, Detroit was very dangerous in the 60’s. If you heard gunshots you simply didn’t stop for red lights, if you did chances are you’d be accosted by a prostitute displaying her wares under her fake fur and offering them up for a price. If went shopping on Woodward Ave it was usual to be accosted by thieves displaying their watches & jewelry on their limbs and asking you if you
    were interested. If you were on foot you could be harassed and chased down the street as I was.
    And that was Detroit in the 60’s and it has gotten steadily worse since then.. Detroit has always been a cesspool, I wonder why?
