Police Union Protests: Detroit's a War Zone
Want more cops hired, primarily
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.

Wait, isn't this the plot of Robocop 2?
Yes, except the real version is more like the It's A Wonderful Life version, where Robocop never existed and Detroit is "policed" by homicidal deathbots.
