Detroit Police Department - not sure how much as changed

I thought things were getting better with the Detroit Police Department. I attended a crime in Brush Park meeting last evening. A Sergeant from Central Events Section represented the DPD. Out of nowhere this Sergeant says (not his exact words), "We all know what's going on in downtown with race," clearly implying that white people were the problem. He then proceeded to give the typical "blame the victim" diatribe about people leaving valuables in cars. No substantive suggests were offered about addressing the problem. I was furious. I didn't want to disrupt the meeting so I didn't say anything. He left afterwards. Same old, same old.
