Police Investigate Threats Of Violence Planned During Fireworks
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/06/23/police-investigate-threats-of-violence-planned-during-fireworks/
DETROIT (WWJ) Police plan a strong presence during the Ford
fireworks in Detroit after large crowds during Detroit River Days and
weekend reports of teens fighting.
A video showing what appeared to be several teens involved in an
all-out brawl during the Detroit River Days surfaced and raised
concerns about safety for those attending the fireworks downtown
Monday night.
In fact, a human blockade by fans of Detroit rapper Trick Trick
caused rival rapper Rick Ross not to take the River Days stage as
planned. The Right Productions, which manages and operates
entertainment events at Chene Park, released a statement saying Ross
couldnt get to the stage because it was blocked by 100-150 people,
and conditions were becoming threatening and posed a security risk.
While Detroit police told Fox 2 that some of the teens involved in the
River Days skirmish caught on video were detained, there are
heightened concerns after rumblings online about possible gang related
activity during the fireworks.
In addition, there have been some online rumblings about planned
shootings and gang members engaging in the so-called knockout game
at the Ford Fireworks.
*****
Can't even go to a public fireworks display without the lowlife scum
causing fear and death.
