Detroit Chief of Police James Craig blamed lawmakers for caving to “protest pressure” and calling for an investigation into his police force’s tactics for handling protests and riots in the city.

Craig appeared on Fox News on Wednesday and slammed Michigan lawmakers, as well as elected mayors in major U.S. cities where rioters have smashed, looted, and burned while police have taken heat for alleged misconduct. Elected officials such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have pushed for an investigation of Craig’s handling of recent protests.
