After Daunte Wright’s death, Rep. Rashida Tliab took to Twitter to call for an end to policing, claiming it “can’t be reformed”:
It wasn't an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist.
Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder.
No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed.

Detroit PD Chief James Craig has slammed Rep. Tlaib in the past, and her comments sparked a fresh round of criticism:

Craig also indicated that he’d break out the party hats if Tlaib left office:
"I'd love to see her resign, I'd throw her a goodbye party," said Craig during a Let it Rip segment on FOX 2 Sunday morning. https://t.co/XE5kP1KrcF

The video above was from an appearance on CNN, which must have been difficult for some at that cable net to hear:
You gotta laugh at @JohnBerman's confused look as Chief Craig lays out a reality disconnected from that of the newsroom at @CNN. https://t.co/445wt0Nwi1

The chief might not be invited back.
