Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who retired Tuesday, told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that law enforcement is a "profession in crisis," now underlined by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's order that her department cease most instances of apprehending crime suspects through foot pursuits. I can't tell you how many individuals I've chased on foot to stop a violent crime," Craig said. Craig applauded Detroit city leadership, which during his tenure has been under Democratic Mayors Dave Bing and Michael Duggan, for allowing his department to enforce the law fairly toward all Detroiters. He told Carlson that many of the residents of the communities these new anti-police actions are geared toward aren't actually happy with the decision or its results. He further told Carlson that he was in Chicago recently and that some of the officers there told him he wished he was their chief.
