    So this happens in Dearborn, where Fox mistakenly claimed Police Chief (who is Arab Christian) is Muslim. Hmmm.https://twitter.com/nwarikoo/status/829516599375888384 …

        I was simply saying that's not why these guys did this dumb-ass thing at the station.

        I don't know why these guys did this dumbass thing at the station, but the fact that it's Dearborn ought to require scrutiny.

        There are plenty of entirely white suburbs in the area where cops are happy to be dicks. But this happened in Dearborn.

        No idea. Maybe they're just batshit gun nuts. But of all the police departments in America to walk into, to pick Dearborn...

        Yup. There's a WHOLE lot of reasons to give this further scrutiny given that it's Dearborn.
