MACDONALD, LOCAL 4. OKAY MAURA,
THANKS DRIFTING IN STREET RACING
SUCH A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THE CITY
WITH A DETROIT POLICE OFFICER
JUST RECENTLY DRAGGED WHILE
TRYING TO STOP A DRIFTING
DRIVER. THAT OFFICER IS GOING TO
BE OKAY. BUT IT ALL HIGHLIGHTS
NEW CONCERNS THAT EVEN MORE
PEOPLE COULD GET HURT IF THIS
GOES UNCHECKED. PAMELA OSBORNE
BEEN TALKING WITH POLICE AS THEY
WORK TO SHUT DOWN THESE ILLEGAL
AND VERY DANGEROUS EVENTS, PAM
THAT WE TEAM SEEM TO BE TALKING
ABOUT EVERY WEEK. YES IT IS
HAPPENING. FRIDAY SATURDAY
SUNDAY NIGHTS. DEVIN AND DETROIT
BELIEFS BELIEVE SOCIAL MEDIA IS
ACTUALLY FUELING THE PROBLEM
HERE. THE STUNTS ARE GETTING
BOLDER, THE STAKES GETTING EVEN
HIGHER AS PEOPLE LOOK TO TURN
THE LIKES AND SHARES ON SOCIAL
MEDIA INTO MONEY THAT THEY CAN
RECEIVE FROM ALL OF THIS. BUT
THE COST IT’S SO MUCH GREATER
THAN THAT. POLICY NOTHING LIKE
IT ONLY IN DETROIT. IT MAY BE
THE MOTOR CITY, BUT. DRAG RACING
THAT’S HAPPENING ON CITY STREETS
IS ILLEGAL. IT’S CRAZY. IT’S
DANGEROUS. IT’S RECKLESS, AND
IT’S A HUGE RESOURCE TAX ON
DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT
COMMANDER ERIC DECKER IS WITH
DPD S ORGANIZED CRIME UNIT EACH
WEEKEND. HE HAS 20 TO 40
OFFICERS OUT LOOKING TO BREAK UP
GATHERINGS LIKE THIS. NOT JUST
I’M SPINNING AROUND IN A CIRCLE

BRINGING GUNS WERE CREATING
ACCIDENTS WERE KILLING PEOPLE
REMEMBER THIS CRASH IN THE
CITY’S EAST SIDE THAT KILLED A
10 YEAR OLD LAST MONTH, POLICE
SAY THE 16 YEAR OLD DRIVER WAS
DRIFTING IN FRONT OF OFFICERS AT
A TRAFFIC STOP BEFORE TAKING OFF
LOSING CONTROL AND CRASHING INTO
THIS TREE TWO WEEKENDS AGO.
OFFICERS IN THE 10TH PRECINCT,
RESPONDING TO A DRAG RACING
DRIFTING EVENTS, THOSE OFFICERS
WERE SHOT AT BY A MAN HANGING
OUT OF A CAR WINDOW. WE WISH WE
COULD PUT THOSE RESOURCES INTO A
WHOLE LOT MORE THINGS, BUT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUT HERE
WILL CONTINUE TO CHASE PEOPLE
OFF TAKE PEOPLE TO JAIL BECAUSE
EVEN WHEN YOU TAKE THE GUNS AND
STOLEN CARS OUT OF THE MIX THE
STUNTS YOU SEE HERE AND ON
SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE DEADLY.
ELEVATED HOW CRAZY CAN I BE? HOW
WILD CAN I BE? AND BELIEFS ARE
USING THE SAME SOCIAL MEDIA
SITES AND RESOURCES AS SOME OF
THESE DRIFTERS ARE, IN FACT,
THEY’VE EVEN BEEN ABLE TO
INTERCEPT AND SHOW UP AHEAD OF
SOME OF THESE EVENTS TAKING
PLACE AGAIN. DETROIT POLICE ALSO
PUTTING THE PRESSURE ON THE
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CONTENT
THAT’S SHOWING UP ON THEIR
WEBSITES. REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT

APARTMENTS ON EVERGREEN NEAR
LINDEN STREET. NO WORD YET ON
WHAT CHARGES ARE COMING. THE GOP
LED THE STATE LEGISLATURE NOW
ENTERING THE ABORTION BATTLE,
DRAWING CRITICISM FROM ATTORNEY
GENERAL DANA NESSEL. THE
LEGISLATURE IS WAITING INTO A
LAWSUIT FILED BY PLANNED
PARENTHOOD STEPPING IN AS THE
DEFENDANT. THEY SAY IT’S BECAUSE
ATTORNEY GENERAL DANA NESSEL
REFUSES TO DEFEND IN 1931 LAW
THAT COULD MAKE ABORTION ILLEGAL
IN MICHIGAN IF ROE VERSUS WADE
IS OVERTURNED. THE RULING FROM
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
IS EXPECTED TO COME DOWN
SOMETIME. LATER THIS MONTH IF
ROE IS OVERTURNED, THE DECISION
ON ABORTION WOULD RETURN TO THE
STATES. ANOTHER RULING GOES
AGAINST ONE OF THE FIVE GOP
