DETROIT — It’s not easy making friends in one of America’s most dangerous cities.
Since becoming chief of the Detroit Police Department in July, James Craig has become a thorn in the side of criminal enterprises after making five highly publicized drug sweeps and averaging 35 weekly raids.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Craig received a death threat via social media Friday.
“We need to clap him out,” Craig said the man wrote, which is slang for shooting someone to death.
Craig spoke defiantly about the threat Sunday, saying he would not be deterred.
“We will find you,” Craig said, “and we’re going to dismantle your criminal enterprise.”
