On Tuesday, speaking on Fox News @ Night with host Shannon Bream,  Detroit Police Chief James Craig blasted Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for claiming officers abused peaceful protesters and that their actions were “outrageous.”

Craig stated, “What was outrageous, Shannon, was the fact that a peaceful protest — and let me just say, for the past four weeks, we’ve had protests every day. They’ve all been peaceful — there’s something very different about this event. Again, a vast majority, about 300 or so, most of them were peaceful but there were a few agitators embedded. And that’s when things went bad. But to suggest that this protest was peaceful all night certainly is totally inaccurate.”
