“With as many people as were involved, or nearby, all of these incidents, someone knows something. Someone saw something.

Work with me to keep everyone in Grand Rapids safe.”

And to all this Gerry Ford would have said. GR used to be such a nice place. What possibly could have happened for all this mischief to occur? Golly! I am stumped.
All these shootings were wasted opportunities for some "thug reduction".Better luck next time.

COINCIDENCE OR NOT?WHY THE SUDDEN GUNFIRE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BLACK TEMPER TANTRUM OVER POLICE HIRE OF WHITE AS CHIEF OF STAFF
GRA:Wouldn't surprise me if the two are connected.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Protesters from several activist groups gathered Friday on Breonna Taylor Way in Grand Rapids to protest the Grand Rapids Police Department’s hiring of Karianne Thomas as chief of staff.
“What the hell are you hiring her for?” said Jakari, who is a member of the 616 Young Black Panther Party, as he spoke to the crowd.
Thomas is the former chief of Kalamazoo’s Department of Public Safety. KDPS faced public scrutiny last year while she was chief for how it handled racial inequality protests, downtown vandalism and a Proud Boys rally.
GRA:I cut the article there,but black after black went onstage downtown and spoke into a microphone,to scream about Karianne Thomas being hired.It's been fairly quiet all year--with only 2 to 3 murders and a few shootings--but then Saturday,all hell broke loose.
Coincidence?Possibly,but the blacks absolutely hate Whitey being hired to this position and the black crime explosion seems to be a response--at least in my humble opinion.

It used to be that Benton Harbor MI had all the violence. Was the main trans-shipment point for cocaine for all of Michigan. Benton Harbor now having been replace by GR? GR is not so far from Benton Harbor. Erik Prince of Blackwater fame is from the area. Maybe he can bring his mercenaries to town and clean things up.
Grand Rapids long has been known as the unofficial capital of Dutch ethnic America. It seems that black thugs now rule the roost there. Astounding and traqic how this could happen in so short a time.
