MORE NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. >> THE UNIVERSITY CALLS THIS A DANGEROUS ESCALATION. STUDENTS
AND SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE SET UP
AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF MICHIGAN WENT TO REGENTS
HOMES THIS MORNING. IN SOME
CASES, THEY PUT A LIST OF
DEMANDS ON DOORS, AND OTHERS
THEY TOOK A BULLHORN AND STARTED
CHANTING IN THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. THANKS FOR JOINING US,
EVERYBODY. I’M KIMBERLY GILL,
I’M DEVIN SCILLIAN.
>> THE GROUP THEN WENT TO A
PRIVATE PROPERTY AND DUMPED TOYS
THAT HAD BEEN PAINTED TO LOOK
LIKE THEY WERE SPLATTERED WITH
BLOOD AND SET UP TENTS. MARA
MACDONALD SHOWS US FROM U OF M
TONIGHT. IN ONE CASE WHERE THE
POLICE WERE CALLED, THEY TOOK
OFF.
>> AND, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST IN
THE CASE OF REGENT SARAH
HUBBARD, THEY LEFT THINGS BEHIND
ON HER LAWN, INCLUDING TENTS
THAT THEY HAD PUT UP, AS WELL AS
SHEETS THAT HAD BEEN SPRAY
PAINTED RED AND ROLLED UP. YOU
KNOW, IN ESSENCE, TO MIMIC
CORPSES. LET ME SHOW YOU THE
COALITION OF STUDENTS BEHIND THE
ENCAMPMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN POSTED THIS VIDEO TO
THEIR EX ACCOUNT TODAY, SHOWING
THEM AT REGENT SARAH HUBBARD’S
HOME IN MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP.
HUBBARD TOOK TO X TO SAY ABOUT
30 OF THEM SHOWED UP AT 545 IN
THE MORNING AND DISRUPTED HER
NEIGHBORHOOD AND MADE IT CLEAR
THIS KIND OF PROTEST IS NOT WELL
RECEIVED AND, QUOTE, WILL NOT
MOVE THEIR CAUSE ALONG IN A
SATISFACTORY MANNER. THE
STUDENTS AT THE ENCAMPMENT SAY
HUBBARD HAS BEEN NONRESPONSIVE
TO THEM.
>> SHE SAW ALL OF US PROTESTING,
RIGHT? WE KNEW SHE WAS INSIDE
AND SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WE
WERE ASKING FOR. AND SHE LOOKED
RIGHT AT US, RIGHT IN THE EYES
AND LAUGHED AT US. SHE’D DONE
THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AT
PREVIOUS BOARD OF REGENTS
MEETINGS. SHE’S WE’VE SEEN HER
LEAVING IN HER CAR, JUST LOOKING
AT ALL OF US. WE’RE HOLDING
LITERAL LIKE MODELS OF DEAD
CORPSES IN OUR HANDS SCREAMING,
DIVEST NOW, DIVEST NOW! AND SHE
LAUGHS RIGHT, RIGHT PAST US AND
JUST DRIVES AWAY.
>> HUBBARD ISN’T THE ONLY REGION
WHO HAD VISITORS THIS MORNING.
JORDAN ACKER TOOK TO X AND
POSTED THIS PICTURE OF A MASKED
MAN ON HIS DOORSTEP AROUND 440
THIS MORNING, PUTTING DEMANDS ON
HIS DOOR. THE CHIEF DEMAND FROM
THOSE AT THE ENCAMPMENT IS FOR
THE UNIVERSITY TO DIVEST FROM
ISRAEL. THE REGENTS HAVE BEEN
CLEAR THAT’S A NONSTARTER. NOW
THE UNIVERSITY, FOR ITS PART,
HAS PUT OUT A STATEMENT THAT,
YOU KNOW, IS VERY CLEAR IN WHAT
THE UNIVERSITY’S POSITION ON
THIS IS. AND THEY SAY IT IS A
DANGEROUS ESCALATION OF THE
PROTESTS THAT ARE HAPPENING
HERE, THAT IT IS INTIMIDATING
BEHAVIOR, THAT IT IS NOT
PROTECTED SPEECH BECAUSE IT IS
TRESPASSING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
THEY SAY IT IS DANGEROUS AND
IT’S UNACCEPTABLE. WE’RE ON THE
CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN. I’M MARA MACDONALD,
LOCAL 4.
>> MARA NEW TONIGHT, A DETROIT
POLICE PATROL SUPERVISOR IS HURT
AFTER A CRASH ON THE CITY’S EAST
SIDE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 730
AT THE INTERSECTION OF JOHN R
AND EAST SEVEN MILE.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUPERVISOR
WAS HEADED TO A SPOT SHOT OR
CALL WITH HIS LIGHTS AND SIRENS
ON. THEY SAY WE WENT THROUGH THE
LIGHT WITH CAUTION, BUT WAS HIT
BY A DRIVER, THE SUPERVISOR AND
THE DRIVER. IN FACT, BOTH IN THE
HOSPITAL, THOUGH BOTH ARE
EXPECTED TO BE OKAY, THE CRASH
STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION
TONIGHT. OVER ON THE CITY’S WEST
SIDE, POLICE SAY AN OFFICER WAS
HURT AFTER BEING HIT BY A CAR.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE OFFICER
WAS INVESTIGATING A STOLEN CAR
AT A MOTEL ON WEST MCNICHOLS AND
GRAND RIVER. THEY SAY A SUSPECT
RAN FROM THE HOTEL ON FOOT. THE
OFFICER CHASED AFTER HIM, BUT
DURING THE CHASE, THE OFFICER
WAS HIT BY A CAR THAT WAS
ACTUALLY NOT INVOLVED IN THE
INVESTIGATION. THE OFFICER HAS
ARM INJURIES. THE SUSPECT BEING
INITIATED, INVESTIGATED FOR THE
STOLEN VEHICLE WERE ARRESTED,
CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
>> A DEALERSHIP IN MACOMB COUNTY
IS THE LATEST TO BE HIT BY CAR
THIEVES. IT HAPPENED EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING AT THE CREST
DEALERSHIP ON VAN DIKE AND
CENTER LINE. JACQUELINE FRANCIS
SHOWS US WHAT THE CHIEF HAS TO
SAY ABOUT THIS.
>> IT MAY BE HARD TO TELL
BECAUSE IT BLENDS IN SO WELL,
BUT BEHIND ME THAT GARAGE DOOR
IS ACTUALLY BOARDED UP IN GRAY.
THERE, AFTER THE THIEVES DROVE
THROUGH THE DOOR TO ESCAPE. NOW
THESE STUNTS ARE NOTHING NEW,
BUT THEY ARE SOMETHING THAT
POLICE IS TRYING TO STAY ON TOP
OF. THIS IS SECURITY VIDEO FROM
AROUND 4 A.M. TUESDAY AT THE
FORD CREST DEALERSHIP ON VAN
DIKE AND CENTER LINE. IN IT YOU
SEE THIS SILVER CAR PULL UP TO
THE SHOP AND THE SUSPECTS GET
RIGHT TO WORK FOR INDIVIDUALS
HAD BROKE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP,
HAD OBTAINED SEVERAL OF THE KEY
FOBS, AND HAD ACTIVATED OR
OPENED UP THE DOOR, THE DOORS OF
THREE VEHICLES IN THE PARKING
LOT, AT WHICH TIME THEY
PROCEEDED TO TAKE THOSE CENTER
LINE.
>> PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR PAUL
MIZINSKI SAID AN OFF DUTY
OFFICER WAS ON HIS WAY INTO WORK
WHEN HE NOTICED SOME UNUSUAL
ACTIVITY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND
PULLED IN. AROUND THAT SAME
TIME, SECURITY VIDEO SHOWS THE
SUSPECTS USING A CAR TO PUSH A
TRUCK OUT OF THE WAY SO THEY
COULD STEAL THE HELLCAT INSIDE
THE GARAGE, THE HELLCAT DROVE
THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR, HIT THE
OFFICERS, CAR, RAMMING IT, AND
THEN BACKING UP AND RAMMING IT A
SECOND TIME, TOTALLY DISABLING
IT. THE OFFICER WAS NOT HURT.
YOU CAN SEE HIM GET OUT OF HIS
CAR CALLING FOR BACKUP. POLICE
PURSUED THE STOLEN CARS BUT LOST
THEM SOMEWHERE IN DETROIT. TWO
OF THE FOUR STOLEN CARS WERE
RECOVERED. THE OTHER TWO ARE
STILL MISSING AND NO ARRESTS
HAVE BEEN MADE. MIZINSKI SAYS
THESE THEFTS HAVE BEEN AND
CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM.
>> WE’VE HAD SOME IN THE PAST.
IT’S KIND OF CALMED DOWN, BUT
APPARENTLY IT’S STARTING UP
AGAIN.
>> ON THURSDAY, MICHIGAN
ATTORNEY GENERAL DANA NESSEL
WILL BE IN TROY TO ANNOUNCE
CHARGES BEING BROUGHT AGAINST A
CAR THEFT RING. THE CHIEF SAYS
HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT WILL
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT
HAPPENED HERE. REPORTING IN
CENTER LINE JACQUELINE FRANCIS,
LOCAL 4.
>> OKAY, JACQUELINE, CLOSING
ARGUMENTS BEGIN TOMORROW MORNING
IN THE TRIAL OF JALEN BRAZIER.
>> IT COMES AFTER A SHAKEUP IN
THE COURTROOM TODAY. THE DEFENSE
TEAM RESTED THEIR CASE WITHOUT
CALLING ANY WITNESSES. JALEN
BRAZIER IS CHARGED WITH SECOND
DEGREE MURDER. AND HIS COUSIN
ZION FOSTER’S DEATH TODAY.
BRAZIER DECLINED TO TESTIFY ON
HIS OWN BEHALF. FOSTER’S BODY
HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND. THAT MEANS
THE JURY DIDN’T HEAR ANY
FORENSIC EVIDENCE IN THE CASE,
SUCH AS BLOOD OR DNA, THAT WOULD
PROVE BRAZIER KILLED FOSTER. THE
JUDGE DENIED A REQUEST BY
BRAZIER’S ATTORNEY TO ACQUIT
HIM, SAYING THE JURY HAS PLENTY
OF EVIDENCE. CLOSING ARGUMENTS
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW MORNING AT
930. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE
TESTIMONY LIVE, WE’RE STREAMING
THE TRIAL RIGHT HERE ON LOCAL 4
PLUS AND CLICKONDETROIT.COM.
>> FORMER RATHER FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND CURRENT
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAVE AGREED TO
TWO GENERAL ELECTION DEBATES
RIGHT NOW. THE FIRST SCHEDULED
FOR JUNE 27TH IN THE ATLANTA
STUDIOS OF CNN. BOTH CANDIDATES
HAVE ALSO ACCEPTED INVITATIONS
FROM ABC FOR A SECOND DEBATE.
THAT WILL COME A FEW MONTHS
LATER, SEPTEMBER 10TH. MORE
DETAILS ON BOTH STILL NEED TO BE
WORKED OUT. BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS
PROPOSED A VICE PRESIDENTIAL

LOOK AT FORD FIELD THIS EVENING.
COMING OFF THE TEAM’S BEST

MOST ANTICIPATED THINGS AFTER

OF THE SCHEDULE.
>> THAT’S RIGHT. BERNIE JOINS US
NOW. THE LIONS WILL FACE A
FAMILIAR FACE WHEN THE SEASON
KICKS OFF. WOW. HOW EXCITING.

IN MY CALENDAR TONIGHT, ONLY
LIKE 6 OR 7 GAMES THAT ARE 1
P.M. STARTS ON ON SUNDAY. IT

A REALLY NICE DAY. LET’S GET
OVER TO KIM ADAMS. SEE HOW
TOMORROW’S SHAPING UP. KIM.
>> WELL, IT’S SHAPING UP PRETTY
NICELY TOMORROW. WE’VE GOT ONE
MORE DAY UNTIL THE RAIN MOVES IN
ON FRIDAY. YOU KNOW MY FAVORITE
THING ABOUT THAT SCHEDULE IS THE
FACT THAT FORD FIELD IS COVERED.
NO PRESSURE ON ME.
>> SO MUCH EASIER, ISN’T IT?
>> THE WALKING IN AND OUT AND
TAILGATING. BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY
OF THAT PRESSURE, SO.
>> RIGHT.
>> AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU DON’T
WORK IN GREEN BAY?
>> YES. OR TAMPA OR MANY OTHER
PLACES THAT ARE OPEN? 62 IN
DETROIT, 56 IN HOWELL, 53 IN
LAPEER. STILL HANGING ON TO 60

MORNING AT 611. SO NICE. LONG
DAYS FOR US. THERE ARE SOME
SHOWERS OFF TO OUR EAST. WE
DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE.
IT’S NICE AND CLEAR RIGHT NOW.
WE’LL HAVE JUST A COUPLE CLOUDS
TOMORROW WITH TEMPS GETTING ALL
THE WAY INTO THE UPPER 70S.
THERE COULD BE A SPRINKLE LATER
IN THE DAY, BUT MOST PLACES WILL
STAY DRY. FRIDAY IS ANOTHER
STORY, AS WE DO EXPECT MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS, TEMPS. NOT A
PROBLEM OVER THE NEXT SEVEN
DAYS. IN FACT, WE’RE NOT DONE
